Happy Monday, peeps! Time for another lovely inspiration for Merry Monday! I just love this photo….a girl can dream, right? Or at least make a card inspired by it, LOL!
So since I already had some of the birch paper left on my desk from this project, I thought it would be cool try to stamp on it! I love the rustic look it created:
I stamped the mistletoe from PTI’s Holly & Mistletoe with Pear Pizzazz ink and a greeting from Waltzingmouse in Chocolate Chip ink. I added some pearl “berries” and a matching ribbon, and it was done!
I recommend using multipurpose glue to adhere the birch paper to your cardstock; it is a bit curly when it comes in the Thankful Tablescape kit, and it will try to “unadhere” itself!
I hope you’ll play along with us….Christmas is coming soon! Do you have your cards started? I hope this will inspire you to make something marvelous to share with us at Always Playing with Paper!
I don’t have any Cassidy pictures to show you, but we did go out sailing yesterday and Dana took a couple of photos:

Oooo, I like this a lot! And yes, I like that living room, too. Looks like a lodge somewhere in the Rocky Mountains (I imagine).
Love your sailing shot. Just seeing that scene makes me feel the breeze blowing through my hair.
Love how you stamped on the birch paper. A beautiful card.
love the weathered look on this! I wish I could play along, but (gasp) I injured my crafting hand & outta commission for awhile... boo... :(
Love love love the birch with that stamp. Beautiful.
Beautiful card LeAnne, the birch is so pretty with that stamp and I love the sentiment.
Very rustic and gorgeous creation LeAnne!! :)
Love the birch paper LeAnne, and I adore your pretty rustic card.
Love this card and that birch paper is awesome!
Gorgeous! I love the simple stamps you have chosen for the birch! And I love the sailing photos. We haven't had our boat out in years since (until recently) it's been so dry in Colorado the mountain lakes are fairly low. Your pictures remind me how much I have missed it for another summer!
Gorgeous rustic card, LeAnne! I love the birch paper! Perfect background for your mistletoe and greeting!
