I Brake for Jumbo Acorns!

Hello and happy Saturday!

Welcome to my I Brake For Stamps post.

It's Fall y'all!  Today I'm actually out touring the wineries of Cayuga Lake in upstate N.Y. with some friends from Canada.  They've never been to a winery so we figured what better to do on a beautiful day like this!

On that note...I have a Fall themed card to share with you!

The second I saw this stamp I fell in love with it. (and wondered how I didn't notice it sooner)  The image is called JUMBO ACORNS.

On the inside I used a sentiment from the collection of verses called EVERY DAY PHRASES.

Here's a close up of the image.  I tried to color the leaves in a variety of fall colors like I'd see in my yard.

May Memories Comfort You

Hello and happy Saturday.

Today I'm feeling sad.  Last Saturday a woman I know from one of my DTs lost her son.  Though I know there is no way for me to really comfort her because I can't begin to imagine what she's going through I wanted to send her a card so that she'd know I was thinking of her.

Time and time again I find myself reaching for this verse when I need a sympathy card.  It's not that I don't have others, it's just that I really love this one.

This is the envelope I made to go with it.

I Brake For Large Violet Stems!

Hello and Happy Saturday! 

Today I'm sharing a vintage style card. 
I used LARGE VIOLET STEM and HAPPY BIRTHDAY
from the BOTANICAL set.

My grandmother will turn 93 on Mar. 22 and this is her card.

On the inside I used a pretty verse from the EVERY DAY PHRASES
set and the BUTTERFLIES from BOTANICAL. 

 

Vintage sympathy card

Happy Saturday everyone!

Today I'm sharing a sympathy card.  Although they're usually very beautiful cards I wish they weren't necessary.  Since they are I like to keep some in my box of cards.

My card features the verse called Memories Comfort You from I Brake For Stamps.

One of my favorite things to do is to stamp on printed paper whenever possible.  I think it gives an added layer of dimension.
