Good for you...

Welcome back Stampers!  Happy hump day Wednesday! I have a fun new card creation to share with you today.  I combined two blog challenges to create this card.  I used the soon to be retired Perfectly Preserved stamp set with the coordinating Cannery Set Framelits Dies. Such a fun set and I can't believe I haven't used it more often.  Even though it will be retired, I will keep this stamp set and matching Framelits Dies in my favorites collection.


There's a lot going on with this card but I love the way it came out. The base of the card is Old Olive, layered with Real Red card stock and the DSP is from Summer Smooches.  I punched out the corners with the scallop trim border and decorated it with Old Olive 1/8" Taffeta Ribbon then used the 3/16" Old Olive Brights Brads. The Banner Greetings stamped in Old Olive looks great against the Night of Navy card stock. I used the Night of Navy DSP for the jar lid. 


You can check out the creations for the Hand Stamped Sentiments here and the Nacho Average Challenges here.  Between the both blogs, there is so much inspiration.  

So last night I started watching the new season of Extreme Weight Loss and the it was so inspirational and emotional. It's amazing how much weight the participants lost in one year, all from exercise and eating better and right.  Wow, to see the transformations was amazing! Going to dust off my Zumba discs and my Wii and get back to exercising again. At least start off by exercising once a week and slowly adding more days. 

Thanks so much for stopping by today.  Hope you have a great day! Until next time.
