GDP058 Simple Joys


Hi everyone!  Wednesday--the middle of the week!  It's a quick slide to the weekend, yippee!  I got in some late, late stamping time and used the really nice sketch from the Global Design Project for my card today:

I told myself I was NOT going to get any more Christmas DSP but that Presents & Pinecones paper just sort of jumped into my cart last time I placed an order, LOL!  I think it is so cute with this layout and a sentiment from Christmas Pines:


The sentiment was stamped right on to the DSP in Cool Cucumber ink and I diecut some bells (Impression Obsession DIE220-Q) from the same DSP and some Delightful Dijon cardstock.  I added a little shading and topped them off with some red glitter baker's twine from the Holiday catalog!  Sweet!


And here's the inside; I just love that SU gives us little extra elements like the arrow that I stamped beneath the words...just a nice extra touch!  


Cassidy rediscovered some of that weird silicone sand she got a while back....it has a strange feeling to it but it IS fun to play with.  She took some time during the nice weather to make a pie:



Looks pretty yummy to me!  Maybe I'll teach her to make pumpkin pies for Thanksgiving!


Thanks for popping in and have a blessed day!

My best memories of Christmas, as the youngest child of nine, are the simplest, and most joy-filled, LeAnne. What a perfect sentiment ... and that paper is very vintage and brings me back there, truly. I'm very pleased with that pie, Cassidy ... you are my favorite kind of kid - always using your imagination!!

The DSP is the perfect backdrop for that beautiful sentiment and sweet bells, LeAnne. A very "Christmasy" card. I bought some of that sand for somebody last Christmas and it does feel weird but they sure like to play with it!
