Playing with Paper Smooches....Anything Goes!

Hi everyone!!

I hope everyone had a really great holiday?

I sure did....I got so spoiled!

Well, despite all the hustle and bustle through the holidays I still found some time to do some creating- yay!

Sooo.....I played along with the Paper Smooches Sparks challenge this week - Anything Goes

I needed to make a thank you card for one of the lovely Christmas gifts I received. I started with this large sentiment stamp and then perched the little cardinal on top to make it more "Christmas-ey"

I really love how this one turned out!

Since I was already playing with these large sentiments I created this second card as well....the "love you dearly" sentiment inspired me to combine this phrase with this cute little deer. I thought this might make a great Valentine's card (umm..yup, it's coming...although it seems a wee bit early to be thinking about it. But when inspiration strikes - we go with it, right?)

You can find the adorable stamp sets I used over at Paper Smooches:

Pretty Phrases

Warm Hearts

Happy Camper

Well, I hope you all continue to have a lovely holiday!

Happy New Year!!
