Salt-n-Pepper :: WCMD



Hey there! I hope you enjoyed your weekend. I sure did! I even squeezed in a bit of shopping. I'm still purchasing items for my studio, so I got some additions to my furniture at IKEA. It's coming along and I have not forgotten about sharing how it all turned out with you. I have a few more things to install and want to make sure it's exactly how I want it before the big reveal.

This weekend, I cleaned my studio and discovered many finds! How is it that you can actually go shopping in your own stash? I know, it's really a shame! Anyway, I came across this Cosmo Cricket Early Bird collection and remembered Moxie Fab World's Around the House Challenge that ends today. When I saw the S/P chipboard shakers, I knew I wanted to use them. I even considered the sentiment, "We go together like..." before finding one already in the collection! But, I was glad that I found it because that meant I did not have to word process it or stamp each letter to create that long sentiment! It is a vintage collection (in my opinion), so I inked it up a bit to create an aged effect. Guess what I did not do on this card? STAMP! I couldn't believe it either! :-)


On another note, Paper Crafts started the holiday, World Card Making Day (WCMD), a few years ago. It is coming up Saturday, October 3. If you have plans to include your WCMD activities on your blog, you can link your blog here, like I just did. Also, watch for a list of bloggers listed on the previous link for inspiration and a 25% coupon code to use off your entire purchase in Paper Crafts' online store! How's that for fun?!!

This is just way to cute! And how nice to have no stamping, though I have found that sometimes these take me longer because I fuss over them more! But that is probably just me! LOL! Hope you have a great Monday!

So soft, so pretty. It's just so tough to beat Cosmo! Love the velvet ribbon--just adds that texture to seal the deal. Beautiful work.
