Winter Friend in Winterland


Hi, folks! It's Monday and around here the air is getting colder and I'm personally hoping for snow! While I wait I have a great little penguin to share with you today from the Stampendous set Winter Friends.


 Isn't he the cutest ever! He has two other wintry friends, an owl and a snowman, that share cute hats and icons for a fun exchange of gifts!

This little card came together quickly with a handmade pattern paper using the free template included in the stamp set. It's snowflakes!!!!! If you want to know more information about the card just keep scrolling down the post, but I wanted to tell you that you can find more inspiration over on the Stampendous blog! Be sure to stop by there.

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. My blog hop project today uses all Plain Jane Bible verses from Verve. I saw this project at Susan Roberts gallery on Splitcoaststampers and went to her blog to get the details . I decided to make one for my mother as a Christmas present...in 2008. Yep, I just now finished it and I have the blog hop to thank. Using sketches would have made this a whole lot faster. LOL The two cards shown in the picture above use the latest Plain Jane release for Psalm 121:1-2 (hanging on box) and Hebrews 11:1 (in front of box). And I'll give the details below, but first here's a slide show of the whole year. Hebr...
