Cup of Comfort....

Hi all and TGIF!!! Hope you had a fabulous week and are ready for a little rest and relaxation this weekend! I'm off now to the Motor City and am spending a little time with my mom. We're packing her up, closing on her house and I'm kidnapping her (not really!) to bring her to her new home in MONTANA! It will be so much fun to have her with us and I know my kids are going to go crazy having grandma literally down the street. So, if you are the praying kind, say a prayer for safe travels -- we're going to be making the trek back early next week.

Anywhoo, moving on to some crafty fun! This week Impression Obsession unveiled all its new fall and winter stamps at CHA and this card below -- features a few of IO's new stamps!

This is a new one from Alesa Baker called Cup of Comfort. There's not a ton of coloring on this one but I did reach for my Copc markers to give it a little bit of color. I used Y21, Y23, E31, RV32, RV34, RV00, YG93, YG95, Y35, and Y38. After I colored it up, I cut out my main image, matted it onto a die cut oval and then again on a distressed die cut shape (Spellbinders Labels 8). I added a fun new Christmas sentiment called Peace on Earth. Pair this all up with some Basic Grey decorative paper, some lace trim, linen ribbon and a littl ebit of stitching and.... done!

My fellow DT member, Daniela Dobson, also has a sneak peek to share, so hop on over and pay her a visit!

See you back here soon!

Congratulations on moving your mom closer! I "Dad-napped" my dad from South Florida about 5 years ago and it really was the best decision we could have made. Best of luck with everything! :)
