It's been a hot minute since I have been on the stamping scene. Life comes hard and fast and I took a very long break from creating to focus on work and raising children on my own. Although I haven't created much over the years I have never stopped collecting and with my craft room bursting at the seams it is time to get back at it.
There was no better way I could think of to get my crafty on then jumping into a crafting challenge. So without further ado...here is my first uploaded card in a very long time.

How great you have returned after your break. This is a fabulous card. Love the image, of course, but your twine treatment, paper, and buttons are wonderful! Cute card.

Welcome back -- and with a big splash -- what an adorable card. I love the two dps you combined for the base. Your stamped image and your coloring are great and so cheery. And then you topped it all off with that fabulous bow. Great card.

Welcome back to the galleries. Love the way you hung the sentiment tag on this super Christmas card. My all time favorite little truck is the star of the show. Love it all.
