Because I Care

Every day is a good day to tell someone you care.
This card features the Because I Care stamp set. I just love the hydrangea!
Perfect Plum and Garden Green dye inks were painted onto the the stamped and embossed image. The card base was embossed using my Big Shot and Friend texture plate #4, then brayered with Perfect Plum. Top Note and tag were sponged with Perfect Plum. Sentiment is from Teeny Tiny Wishes.

All images and supplies are from Stampin' UP!

Thanks for visiting today. May all your stamping be happy!

New Year's resolutions

Hi Stampers!  Thanks for stopping by today. It's hard to imagine that January is half over.  So much has happened since I last posted.  Crafting classes and stamping club have filled many of my days and evenings.  I have just recently decided to buckle down and all the pictures we have accumulated over the years.  This past summer I started Scouting scrap books for 3 of my grandsons.  I loved every minute of it, but upon returning home from Houston, it seemed there never was enough time.

Today I worked on a scrap book of my husband's military career -- and completed 4 pages plus a cover and page of a book of favorite recipes before being called away.  Not a monumental thing, but every journey begins with the first step and is completed one step at a time.  Have succeeded in this small step encourages me to pick up the project again soon.

No pictures today, but soon I hope.

Until the next time, HAPPY STAMPING and grace to you.
Trish
