Another Nature Walk Card

Here is another card using the Nature Walk stamp set.  This card is very simple and easy to make, but the little 'bling' really adds a touch of elegance.

It's those little 'extras' that help to give a project its charm, don't you think?  You can see a close-up of the trinket key (#121892) that was used--it's a new embellishment that Stampin' Up! has added to its line in the 2011 Occasions Mini Catalogue.

Nature Walk

Early in January I participated in a card swap with my upline's group.  For this particular swap, we had to use products from the 2011 Occasions Mini Catalogue, which premiered on January 4, 2011.  This is the card I made using the Nature Walk set from that catalogue.  This is such a beautiful stamp set.  I just love the vintage look and the whimsical feel to these stamps!

Hello!  Welcome to my blog!

"Baby, it's cold outside"!  When I looked out the window this morning, the title of this classic song came to mind.  It's a very chilly -25˚C out there--a perfect day to stay warm and cozy inside and not venture far from home.  Hmmm....perfect blogging and paper crafting weather!  Now that's a thought that warms me up!

Take care, and stay warm!
