Happy and Joyful Release Blog Hop

Hi there! Today I’m joining Simon Says Stamp for their Happy & Joyful Release Blog Hop.

SSS-Layering Alphas Stencil, Missing You, Soft Plaid

My project featuring the Layering Alphas Stencil Set. I used several shades of Pawsitively Saturated Inks for the color. I stamped a coordinating sentiment in black from the Missing You Stamp Set. For the card base I stamped the Soft Plaid Background Cling using Versamark ink onto Fog cardstock.

    Awesome! Thanks for starting my day off with some happy inspiration. Hugs right back to you. Don’t be too hard on Hank… our dog Molly is a fiend on moles…. just can’t help herself. Once in a while she actually catches one. Only about a zillion more to go….

    Hi, Laura –
    This alpha set is not for me, but you made a sweet card w/ it. Thanks for the Hank update. You can buy mole & vole bait but it might be dangerous to do that if there is any chance that Hank will end up ingesting it.
    Have a great weekend.

    Lovely card, you have the patience of a saint with all the many letter layers. I hope Hank the tank stays out of trouble, but he does sound like he’s definitely part of the family. We don’t have a dog, but often take care of our “grand” greyhound.
