Celebrate Today

Good morning!

Can you believe it's September already?  The year is just flying by for me!

Today's card uses Stamping 411's sketch challenge from this week, and some of my favorite colors...


I'm really loving the look of this sentiment stamp set, Perfectly Penned.  What do you think?  I love that it's a little elegant, yet a little whimsical at the same time.  It also has a touch of vintage!

The lovely Fancy Fan Letterpress Plate was used with Crumb Cake Craft ink, on Crumb Cake cardstock.  It feels so nice to the touch - just like a real letterpress.  A great subtle effect!

Today also marks the release of the new Holiday Mini Catalog!  This is my favorite Mini of the year!  Be sure to check it out here!

Well, I have a lot on schedule for today, so I have to run!  Thanks for stopping by, and have a great day!
