Hi Everyone. Happy Wednesday.
This is an early post for me! It's 8.39 am here Minnesota and we have just finished breakfast. I'm down in my crafting room and Lou is outside doing a few things before the landscapers arrive to plant the big trees. So, lots of things going on in the garden again today!
Me? I'm hoping to spend some time in my craft room working on some cards and maybe playing along with a few challenges. The challenges really do give me an excuse to get out and play with some of my brand new goodies.
I told you this set was going to get lots of use…. and here's another card using it!
I used the great sketch from Sketch Frenzy Friday (a new sketch challenge that I found on the fabulous LeAnne's website). Here's the sketch:
I made a tag to fit the image and added a Neutrals Candy Dot at the top. I stamped the grasses in Crumb Cake and then stamped the goose in StazOn. I stamped the goose again onto more Naturals White card stock and fussy cut around him. I then mounted it over the original image using dimensionals.
For the horizontal pieces – I used two different papers from the new Neutrals Designer Series Paper Packs. I love the new patterns on these papers. Before I glued them down, I used the new Dictionary background stamp on a piece of Sahara Sand card stock and love the interest it gives to the background. The sentiment is the Birthday Greetings stamp from the Wetlands set. I like the popped goose and think I might have to do that again. I hope you aren't getting too bored of this set yet 🙂
On a personal note:
Feeling much better every day and having some time off work certainly has helped. No jobs on my to do list have been attempted…. but I do think I might have to do something about that by the end of the week! I can see the to do list getting longer, but my stamps and paper are calling my name – and that's winning out right now :-) It feels good to actually want to create again. 🙂
As always, thank you for visiting my little neck of the woods. Warm hugs and prayers for those of you who need a little lift today. Have a fabulous Wednesday
Hugs
Jaydee

Hm…I can see the sketch, but not your card…I’m sure it’s WONDERFUL! :o)
I’m glad you’re resting and healing and starting to feel better. I can’t wait to see your new landscaping–how exciting!
Hugs!
P.S. Hi Lou! :o)
Well…. I might be feeling better, but obviously my brain is not yet in gear!!!! Thanks, Rach. BTW – Lou says hi and said I’d misplace my head if it wasn’t attached to my body! 🙂

I just have to say I like everything you have done with the Wetlands stamp set and I can see it is definitely a must buy. Keep sharing! Also, I love that you share all you see in your backyard. What a wonderful place to live and enjoy nature! Take care of yourself and have a happy and safe July 4th! It is going to be a hot one in San Antonio, Texas, but it will be great celebrating with family and friends.
Glad you are feeling better! It’s amazing to see how many cards you can make with one stamp set. I really like what you did with today’s. How is Lou holding up? I hope he realizes how much you do! Love the landscaping progress…Nancy B
So good to hear that you'[re feeling so much better. Just because you’re feeling better; just don’t over do it. I feel what doesn’t get done, there’s always another day.
Love the cards you make using the wetland set. So many different ways and out come just from one stamp set.
Take care and Happy Independence Day to you. Have a safe and enjoyable one
Keep smiling

Ah, *there* it is! :o) I love the popped up goose (you and your fussy cutting–it really is so worth it!)
I’m often quite glad MY head is attached for if it weren’t, I KNOW I’d lose it. ;oP
