Cozy Family Time


Happy Thanksgiving week friends!
A big shout out to all of you in the US who are having a holiday this week, for the gratitude to the community of my crafty friends and most of all my family, thank you for making my life her on Rain Puddles and out there in life so much richer for being in it. Have a wonderful week and I hope a safe and encouraging one.

Now on to more inspiring crafty matters. Stampendous has an appropriate theme this focusing on our time with family and friends. Enjoying the times we have during the holidays and the season are always fun so of course there are some sweet stamps that will help us share our appreciation and memories with those we love.


Today's card is a mix of catalog and non catalog supplies. I started this image for the catalog and wasn't able to put it together for the catty so over the weekend I added the sprayed background and embossed snowflakes. Here's just how I made this sweet friends card.

Let's Celebrate Plain Jane Style!

There is an Anni-Verve-Sary party going on today! Verve Stamp Company is 2 years old! The hop started at Verve's blog , so come hop on board and see over 5 dozen projects that are sure to get your Verve on! I've been waiting for the right time to blog about this project and when the opportunity came to join in the anniversary blog hop for Verve I knew it was time.

And I'll give the details below, but first here's a slide show of the whole year. Hebr...
