Shopping Our Stash says Let's Get Krafty!!!

At Shopping Our Stash we are asking you to use Kraft somewhere on your project for challenge #364. . I wasn't as well prepared as I thought I was at the cottage and only had a little larger than 1/4 of a sheet of "crumb cake" cardstock, which is what I use for Kraft, I do have some from Michaels that is a bit darker alas it was at home. I'm also very behind on holiday cards so since most of my paper pads were "holiday" ones I chose to make a Winter card. (makes me feel a bit cooler)


Out of my stash it was the scrap of crumb cake cardstock, I cut the sentiment scalloped layer from the larger scalloped frame which I cut from the large piece that is the kraft layer under the patterned paper, now that's using one scrap to it's fullest, the BoBunny 3 year old paper pad  there wasn't anything new on this card. The stamp I used is one of my favourites from House Mouse Designs. 


Finished the inside with an IO sentiment that I totally forgot I had, it's been sitting uninked for one season maybe two. glad it surfaced last week.


Challenges I'm entering:


Jingle Belles Rock ~~ All Bundled Up

  3. So cute, Barbara. That sentiment is a good one, too. I love how you always say, "...didn't have it at the cottage..." then you put me to shame! Great card. I also had to smile at the sweet mouse, and another classic Barbara saying, "One of my favorite House Mouse stamps..."
