Hi there! Hope your weekend is going well. We're in full swing preparing to have friends and family over this evening to watch the big game. It's so fun...the same people come year after year and it's become more than a Super Bowl gathering...it's a full-on annual reunion! I'm so lucky to have such great people in my life. And yet why do I insist that my house is spotless for when they come over? Who am I fooling?!? Certainly not my guests!! Yet every year it's the same thing...the annual cleaning. Kidding! I clean at least twice a year. :) Anyhow, let me direct your attention to today's card. It was made using the Be Still stamp set that my dear friend Courtney designed for Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps. It's Courtney's very first stamp set ever and I was tickled when my order arrived in the mail last week. How cute is that deer? I only wish I'd been able to do it a bit more justice. I'm still an infant when it comes to knowing how to use my new Copics. Click here to see the entire set that Courtney designed. You'll notice that I only used a portion of the main image by cutting it down with Nesties, then layering it over an embossed piece of my crazily-hoarded supply of retired SU cool caribbean cardstock. What is it about knowing that something is no longer available that renders me unable to use my supplies on hand?!? Sheesh! Thanks as always for stopping by!
Until next time...M
Supplies:
Ink: Papertrey dark chocolate
Cardstock: Papertrey select white, ripe avocado and spring moss; SU cool caribbean
Stamps: Sweet 'n Sassy Be Still; Papertrey Rustic Branches (the polka dots)
Other: Copic and SU markers, Doodlebug Designs sugar-coated brads, circle Nestabilities, Cuttlebug branches embossing folder, May Arts ribbon
this is really beautiful!!!

It is wicked! So calming really...and kind of reminds me of spring...oh I hope soon! Have fun today...and I am with you, cleaning right before everyone comes over, I do it too! No one cares...really! They will only notice the game and the food! Throw in more beer and you won't have to clean at all!
