Here's a card made with an old favorite Paper Smooches stamp set called Best Buds. It has several pretty floral motifs in it, one of which is this sweet banner with a selection of sentiments to go inside.

Inspired by a Kleenex Box?
As I was changing out an empty box of tissues, I noticed the colors on the empty one and decided to snip out one of the sides to use for inspiration. These are colors I certainly would never have come up with on my own!

Woodblock Wednesday!
"Tis the season for picking posies from my garden to bring inside to enjoy and I often pop them into a canning jar to sit on our kitchen table. So this month I chose a Stampendous stamp dated 2013 and a Hero Arts sentiment dated 2009 for my Woodblock Wednesday entry!
