Cottage Wreaths

 Good Morning & Happy Saturday, Everyone!

I hope your all having a safe & happy July 4th weekend here in the US!

We took Kelsey for some blood work first thing in the morning then decided to go do a little shopping. I got myself a new pocketbook that is much bigger than the one I have now. I may be able to fit the kitchen sink in it! LOL I am not usually one to carry a pocketbook but I am trying to do it more & more when we are out & about. We also hit the Home Goods, Marshall's & TJ Maxx stores. Kelsey found some Halloween Rae Dunn already. Shawn grabbed a Rae Dunn mug that says Grillin & Chillin because he is the grill master! I picked up a few decorations for the house once I take down all my patriotic things. I do have pictures of my July 4th stuff that I will share with you tomorrow.

Anyways, let's get to the next Christmas card to keep us cool while it's so muggy out!

This card uses a new stamp set that can be versatile with holidays or occasions called Cottage Wreaths. It was a set that was on my 1st preorder. I guess I am a sucker for wreaths as I grow older. It is on page 59 of the July-December Mini Catalog and there are a few samples of it throughout the catty as well.

Besides yesterday's Christmas Scottie stamp set, this one is my absolute favorite, too!

I used more of the Sweetest Christmas DSP and kept my wreath & ribbon the same colors as the paper. I stamped a wreath on the inside in the upper right hand corner just for interest.

I see so many people decorate the inside of their cards and I seldom do so I am just as pleased with the inside as I am the outside. The saying I used inside is from a new stamp set that has a variety of sayings in for all occasions called Very Best Occasions. It comes with a punch which I opted out of and just ordered the stamp set. 

That saying is so nice for Christmas!

My thoughts today...

Shawn is on vacation until July 11th.

We have no plans to go away but rather do a few things around the house.

Today he is tinkering with his car and I am going to my stamp table to work on some cards.

I guess you can say that I am hibernating from the heat!

Thanks for stopping by & stay cool!
