Here's one of my cards from this week:
This card is the favorite of both my hubby and of those I've made in quite a long time. That image is so sweet, and especially the squirrel :-) We have them come in our backyard now and then and they are so cute. The background isn't DP, but rather is plain cardstock stamped with a background stamp and then distressed. I'm finding it so much easier to cordinate making my own backgrounds rather than using pre-bought designer paper all the time.
The images used are all Heartfelt Creations, as is the die for the fabulous Sunflower and the die for the swirl...I have to say, I just LOVE all these products! This card is posted on their blog right now with full directions, if you want them.
