Cardmaking Bliss...

Hi there! So, the kids are back to school. Week two. Things are falling into place. Everyone likes their classes and teachers. Yay for the peace that routine brings!

As for me, I’ve had some good (late night) crafting sessions. A few weeks ago, I picked up a few My Minds Eye 6x6 pads (Lost & Found & Lost & Found 2) along with the cute stamps, pretty brads, and the cool burlap. I was so inspired by that collection and thought it would be PERFECT with Lawn Fawn’s Just My Type and Sew Lovely stamps! I was right ;). I ended up with a few vintage (and fun) looking cards. Here’s a look at a few of them:
So, this one (up top) was actually based on this MojoMonday sketch from back in July. I liked the sketch so much but missed the deadline :( so i bookmarked it and felt inspired to use it with thses goodies. Happy I did - fun sketch!!

I really loved playing with the burlap!!! Fabritac glued it down like a champ. I actually made a set of 4 - but I’ll share the other 3 another day... sneaky huh?!?

Well, I hope your day is good to you.
