Welcome!

Wednesday, my husband and I earned some quality 'activity points' and helped a friend move. No wimpy furniture there, just quality heirlooms.....big and bulky....and, none of that fake wood....the real (scratchable) deal!

I thought it would be nice for her to get some 'happy mail' at her new place, so I created this card using the deconstructed sketch #75. I don't pull off the mixing and matching of dp like my friend Kadie does, but I am pleased with my finished card!



The designer papers are from Everyday Eclectic, ribbon, gems, CS from my stash, and the stamp set is from Close To My Heart.

Thanks for stopping by!
HUGGZ,
April

    A warm and inviting card. Getting settled is a big comfort after a move.

    Well, my friend, I disagree with you. I think you always pull off mixing and combining DPs very effectively! I love this color scheme too. Those gems are really pretty also. So thoughtful to top off all of your hard work with some happy mail for her too!
