WOOHOO! It's finally my turn to do a CARD SET for our PREVIEW WEEK over on Create with Connie and Mary! It is the LAST DAY of PREVIEW…we start Card Create-tions 2014 TOMORROW. I chose Backyard Basics for my set today…mainly because it has matching framelits! Makes it SO easy to cut them out! Like Mary, I used only one Designer Paper on my set…Watercolor Wonder. I was amazed at how nice the stamp set and DSP went together! I also used the versatile stamp set, Express Yourself, that is a hostess only set in the main catalog. I love all the greetings in it!

Thanks for the glimpse of Spring..with snow still on the ground, it is refreshing to get a peek and reminder it is coming..just a little late. I love how you were able to use one pack of DSP and one stamp set. Many times I get overwhelmed with trying too many choices..keeping it simply but beautiful..Love it!
