This card was patterned after a card my good friend, Mary, made. I changed just a little of the details here and there, but basically, it's like the card she made.

Black card base
Dotted mat cut @ 4" x 5 1/4"

Here's another project I made using this stamp set:

Tom, Bonnie, and I went to the mountains for a weekend in March of this year (2012) and stayed in a cabin. It rained almost the entire time. To say it rained more than it didn't rain is not exaggerating. BUT we still had a good time like we always do, because everything is an adventure. This was the weekend Tom took the MENSA test... and he passed way above what was needed by the way. (I always knew he was brilliant, and you guys just thought I was saying that because he's my hubbub.)

I love the "Remember..." stamp in MFPS "Amaryllis Definition" set being released this week. It could be used for military pages, family vacations, important events, life-changing moments, etc.
