Lindsay's Stamp Stuff - Note Cards

Hello! I am trying to get back in the swing of things. I think I left my mojo with Mickey in Florida. I sure hope he is putting it to good use.

To keep it easy and not over tax my missing mojo, I decided to make some 4x4 note cards using Lindsay's new digital paper, Bold Black & White 12x12 papers.







Here are some close ups of all the cards..





I only used 3 of the papers in the set, but here is a look at all of them. Aren't they cool? I love that you can print on colored card stock to make your own DP.




Thank you for stopping by today. Please take a moment to visit the blogs of the rest of the DT. Don't forget to stop by Lindsay's blog to pick up the freebie she has posted.

KLM It's A Boy

I am back from vacation and trying to get my head back in the game. I need a vacation to recover from my vacation - know what I mean? We were at Disney World celebrating our wedding anniversary, my daughter's birthday, and Halloween at the Not So Scary Halloween Party. We had so much fun! I really recommend the Halloween party. And the Epcot International Food & Wine Festival is running at the same time. The food (and the wine) were fabulous. It was so much fun walking around trying various foods from the different countries. My daughter really loved the new Kim Possible adventure at Epcot. It really was fun for the whole family. You get sent on a 20 minute scavenger hunt around one of the "countries" in the World Showcase in Epcot. If you are going with kids, check it out.

Well, enough of that. I had better get to business. I created this card with one of the new digital sentiment stamps from KLM Designs which were released on 11-1-10. I love digital sentiments because you can resize them to fit your needs. In this case, I kept it nice and big so it could be the focal point of my card.



You can pick up this sentiment and the "It's a Girl" sentiment I used last week on the KLM Designs blog for just $1.00.

Thank you for stopping by today!

• Images: It's A Boy digital stamp from KLM Designs
• Papers: Georgia Pacific CS, PTI Chocolate CS, My Mind's Eye Complete Boy DP pack
• Inks: Distress Inks Tea Dye & Antique Linen

• Embellishments: CTMH twine, card board (for star)
