Hey everyone...
WOW. I am still sort of trying to come back down from my little Cloud named NINE from yesterday. It was SO exciting to receive such a warm welcome and congrats from so many of you...from so many stampers who I ADMIRE.
Anyway, yesterday meant the world to me and I thank each and every one of you for your words of encouragement-you are all amazingly supportive!
So today is Whimsical Wednesday and I have ANOTHER SAMPLE from the {DELIGHTFUL MOMENTS} , the DECEMBER Kit of the Month from UNITY STAMPS! Seriously, if there was ANY month for me to have been asked to be the Guest Designer? It was like they KNEW I would love this kit...and I really do!
I took a couple of images from the kit to create a vintage-type feel to my card today, using a sketch that my 7 year old little boy Nikolas designed for us. Here's the sketch, DDSC13:
Normally i'd look at the different elements he drew and go 'HUH' for a little while to try and figure out what to do...but as soon as I saw this, I knew there would be PLEATED RIBBON! I'm "SMITTEN" with that technique lately...so the rest just kinda fell into place. Here's my sample:
Don't forget to stop by the DARE BLOG today too and see what our Featured Stamper has cooked up for you today, along with the rest of our wonderful Team:
That's all I have for today...thanks SO much for stopping by-I really appreciate everything you write and I am so grateful for all of your encouragement! Have a wonderful day everyone! HUGS!!!

Beautiful card Jess!! I love the distressing!!
Need I even comment??? Seriously???
Hubby says the trip is on!!! He thinks it would be fun to go with another couple so you could do some stuff together and have more fun and then still go off on your own too!!!
I mentioned Italy and Venice and he says that would be fun!!!
My In Laws went to Holland this spring and Switzerland 3 years ago and they said both countries are really really pretty. Hubby is Dutch his mom is full blooded Dutch and his youngest brother and his wife have traveled to Holland before too!!!
What is a Frommer Guide???
