Home is where....

the Army sends you!  Another true statement indeed being the wife of a military man!

Moving brings on new challenges in so many ways! For example, it's late, and I am trying out new options for photographing at night. In doing so, I rushed to take this, and I failed to see my card was not sitting even on the cloth! Given that I am also having trouble at the moment with uploading, I am just going to let it go! (*wink*)

I am way over due to make some change of address cards, so I thought I better start playing around with some options! As I am still unpacking and have piles of my crafty supplies looking for a new place to call home, I came across this stamp by Hero Arts and thought that might be a jumping off point. We will see if I can take the time to get creative to come up with some other options, but I thought I would share this with you!

The City Crafter blog is hosting a challenge called Home Sweet Home and they want to see a "House" on your project, so I thought I would share my card over there.  Look at this adorable inspiration photo they have posted! 
The card is a clean and simple design which is what I need if I am going to mass produce.  I just so happened to have three white panels laying on my desk from pulling out scraps from another project and this is what I came up with! I love this stamp, so I may play around for another option if time permits! 

Thanks for visiting with me! I appreciate it always!

I love unpacking, I kinda feel like I find new things, presents almost!

Good luck settling in.

The sentiment is hilarious! Love your colors, your design, the stamp...I love it all! Good luck with the unpacking...as someone who has moved 6 times in the last 10 years, I know how yucky it is. :(

Hi Tammy! I know we've talked about it but your photos outside were wonderful but this one? I think it's equally as wonderful!! You've found it! Did you use a lightbox? Ack! I need to know!

I keep seeing this little stamp at Michael's and one of these times it's going to jump into my basket! hehe

I hope your unpacking is coming along.....no more wrapped up magic eraser boxes eh??

Stella said...

This stamp speaks for itself and you used it in a brilliant way. I love your choice of colors; it's a brilliant way to create a stunning CAS card. A wonderful idea for mass produce; love it!
And unpacking all your craft supplies sounds like fun; maybe it feels a bit like christmas :)

That sentiment makes me laugh and smile! So true, so true. I love your clean graphic look, and those bright colors. Great take on the City Crafter inspiration pic, Tammy! (and I didn't even notice your card was not even, silly!)

Love those bold coloured houses and the sentiment cracks me up! Moving is hellish but I agree with Kasia that sometimes it's fun when you find things you'd forgotten about. :)
