Getting back to crafting

Its been months, literally, since I've sat down to craft and I've missed it desperately! Moving across an ocean has been a challenge, but I am finally getting settled in my new house and starting to organize my crafting space.

Today I decided that in spite of the mess that is still my workspace it was high time I made something, anything!  Over the past couple of weeks I've sat down with the intention of crafting just to get overwhelmed by the lack of organization in my workspace and walk away.  No more! To motivate myself I scoured the web for some inspiration and landed on Stamping 411, one of the many crafty blogs I follow.

I decided to play along with their Saturday Sketch Challenge #186:

And here is what I came up with:



inside: Love begins in a moment, grows over time, and lasts an eternity.
Card Recipe (All Stampin' Up!) 
Stamps: Broadsheet Alphabet, En Francais, Occasional Quotes
Inks: Real Red, Pretty in Pink
Papers: Real Red, Very Vanilla, Sending Love DSP, Real Red Textured Card Stock, Pretty In Pink Textured Card Stock,
Accessories: Heart to Heart Punch, Pretty in Pink Corduroy Buttons

I hope to start crafting (and posting) more often so check back soon for new, fun projects!!
