Hello! Today's card uses several sets, which makes me chuckle a bit - I just couldn't make it easy on myself for this one, haha! The silhouette is from the hostess set Kind & Caring Thoughts, the sentiment is from just a portion of a stamp from Eight Great Greetings, and the circle border is from Circle Circus. I think this is the first time I've used Circle Circus, can you believe that? I orderd it from the Demonstrator pre-order and those poor stamps were neglected until today. I'm bringing Maine Blueberries back out of the retirement bin for a breath of fresh air too. I will be SO sad when I cut my last piece of that delicious paper. I used Amy's Friday Sketch for this lovely layout today too.
Have a wonderful day!
Karen

ReplyDeleteIt will definitely be a sad day when all that gorgeous dp is all gone... That's when I hoard that last little scrap, lol. This is just so lovely! I love the little flowers in the corner.
ReplyDeleteI love those colors together. I went berry picking yesterday, and those remind me of a basket of fresh berries! Yummy for the eyes, and the tummy!
