TESC90 - Kind Words


Hello! TGIF! :)


I couldn't wait to get home and stamp tonight after a LONG week at work. I can't believe how many Christmas cards I have made already and it's not even Thanksgiving yet! :) I'm finally ahead of schedule for once!


I used Taylor's sketch challenge paired with this adorable Sleigh Ride set from the Petal Press. I love the candy canes in the sled! This set was designed by Tracy and is available exclusively at iheartpapers! And sorry if you're getting sick of this color combo, but it seems to be all I want to reach for lately!
The sentiment reads: "One kind word can warm three winter months - Japanese Proverb"

Be back soon! Have a great start to your weekend!

TESC89 - Autumn Abundance


Hello! Happy Sunday! Did you remember to turn your clocks back? I love fall daylight savings time...it gives me an extra hour! :)


I made this card for Taylor's sketch challenge. I've been in quite the stamping funk this weekend, so that's when I pull out my hardly used stamp sets and see if I can get inspired by them.


Thanks for stopping by! See you soon!
