Cooking today

My family is coming tomorrow so I am spending the day in the kitchen. Ugh. I'd rather be stamping but that's on the back burner (not on the stove) for a few days. Busy week next week with appointments so I'm not sure when I'll get to stamp.

This card was for my other granddaughter. It was inspired by a tag Kara posted in Oct. I loved it so much, the bright happy colors and the design. This is simple with just pattern paper and a MFT mouse stamp fussy cut and popped up. The frame is Penny Black and I added a strip of fall leaves. I'm sorry the picture is fuzzy and the card is mailed so I can't retake the picture.




Be kind to one another.
