A “word person” I love all the cards I see with text in the background. Thus, when I saw Close To My Heart’s new State of Mind stamp set, I immediately thought of how much I would probably use the stamps as background stamps. And, when I finally got my hands on this lovely set, that’s the first thing I did, using Bamboo ink on Vanilla Cream cardstock.
The bird, branch, and sentiment stamps are from CTMH’s new A-size “A Tweet” set. I love the fact that CTMH lowered the price on its A-size sets to $7.95.
Material & Tools: Vanilla Cream and Cocoa cardstock; Veranda paper packet; Juniper, Bamboo, and Cocoa ink pads; A Tweet and State of Mind stamp sets; Sponge dauber; Sanding block.
I laid down to watch Olympic figure skating last night and fell asleep right before Belbin and Agosto’s performance. I guess I’ll have to read about it. Certainly, I got a good night’s sleep even if I did wake up for an hour around midnight.
It’s snowing today. With no wind, the flakes are kind of just floating around, taking their time in hitting the ground. I think I’ll follow Mother Nature’s lead today – Do something but without pushing too hard. LOL.
That said, I’m off to float through my chores, and when they’re done, I hope to land in my corner. Enjoy your day! Later …

Beautiful card! I am going to have to take a better look at the spring catalog.
Float around and take my time hitting the ground...thats perfect! You used this set to perfection Kathi. Wonderful card.
Neat card! I, too, love words in the backgrounds - the word set was the first one I bought from the new catalog!
I love how you describe the snow - I can almost see it! Then, your plan to float through your chores and land in your corner . . . like a sweet little snowflake! ;-)
That's awesome! Have a delightful day!
What a great idea - your card is beautiful!
Beautiful card! I love what you did with that bg stamp. I've seen that set but didn't realize it was that big. TFS
Have a great day!
We're getting another 6-8" of snow by tomorrow night, enough already.
This card is gorgeous, Kathi. Your use of words, too, is perfection. What a gift you have!
