  • Stamps – Penny Black “Sweet Wishes”
  • Patterned papers – BoBunny “Key Lime Collection”
  • Cardstock – Bazzill

Here is my first card for 2014! I used the current sketch at Freshly Made Sketches: Sketch #117 and kept it very clean and simple. I will have it be the first card in my Operation Write Home box, since I shipped off all of my cards at the end of 2013. Thanks for visiting today!

BONUS Entry!

Last school year, my son was in a production of Once Upon A Mattress. Afterward, for the kids’ cast party, his Drama coach asked for a cake for the occasion. I made a cake that looked like the bed in the play. This was the furthest I could be from cardmaking!
