Thinking of You

Playing along with Seize The Sketch, was wanting to use the super fun Simon Says Stamp Card Kit. I needed to make a few masculine cards, they do not come easy for this girly girl....teehehehe. I am playing along with this months OPTIONAL masculine challenge for SCS Cards For A Cause, have you heard of it? We send our unused cards to different organizations, so they can send them to those who are in need of a pick me up!

Waltzingmouse Stamp-Happy Birthday

I wanted to play along with Seize The Sketch, this is their first sketch...yeah...so happy to see them getting started! I have used the new Mini Pinstripe stamp from Waltzingmosue, such a sweet background stamp, perfect for CAS!
