Another post and another Sept. new release: Topiaries. This time it’s from Clear and Simple Stamps! I also want to use this post to say THANK YOU to all you readers. I just checked my stats and I have over 500 readers and almost 250,000 visits since sometimes in January of 2008 (when I added the stats option). Since the blog was actively used in November of 2007 I’ve had 824 posts and 7,494 comments. I am amazed!! I’m not the most regular blogger and I’m not always going around commenting either. So to get any visitor and comment is a big plus for me {::SMILES}. As for myself, I can’t believe I’ve posted 824 times!! Goodness! I’m not a new blogger, I’ve been blogging – of a form of it – for ten years or so but never commit to one for this long until now. Well, I guess that’s a lie. There was one that I committed too, my first one but I’m not ready to share with the world what it was. Only my close friends know (and don’t you all tell!).
So thanks everybody for supporting this blog via your subscriptions, visits, and comments. I truly appreciate it. I know that I’m not that great at replying to each comment but I do read each one and they always make me smile! I haven’t been a good blog visitor either because SOMEBODY keeps wanting to use my keyboard and when she’s sleeping I’d either be doing chores or working on projects. But, she’s only little once and I do want to spend a lot of time with her and also Miss M so I hope you all understand. Maybe after M starts school again I’d feel less selfish if I’m on the computer more — when Jovie’s sleeping of course.
On the card… I LOVE how well these CSS stamps stamp. So crispy clean!! For the card stock I used CSS brown aka Espresso Your Style and baby blue aka Trendsetter Blue. Very pretty together!! For a little bit of accent I added a bit of ribbon, also CSS, and of course a button. For the sentiment I used CSS’s matching brown ink. Perfect!!
I also LOVE the Tim Holtz embossing folder. See how deeply embossed the brown is? This is just another clean and simple design. Sometimes one can be so into buying tools and all sorts of products, been there myself, but in all honestly all you need are some good basic sets and you can make a lot of pretty cards. Oh, don’t forget the twine — it’s my thing now {::SMILE}. Have a great one and THANK YOU again!!
