Hi and welcome to Monday and a brand new week! Did you get snow over the weekend? We did along with a slight drop in temperature – signs that old man winter is just around the corner for us here in northeastern BC. Am I ready? We’ll just have to wait and see!
Anyway, it was warm and cozy in my stamp room and family members have an anniversary coming up so I created……
……using the Create with Connie and Mary sketch.
I started with a card base(5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″ scored at 4-1/4″) and added the soft and lovely Coastal Cabana mat. I think it looks great embossed with the Stylish Stripes embossing folder. Flags made with Silver Glimmer paper and Winter Frost designer paper add a subtle design.
I’m pretty pleased with the way this card turned out and am sure that the couple receiving it will be too.

Thanks Carol. That paper lends itself well to other than Christmas cards.
