For this week's challenge, I primarily focused on the First Frost stamp set and framelits. I started by embossing a piece of Soft Seafoam CS with the Lace TIEF and adhering it to a piece of Merry Merlot CS. I stamped and die cut a couple of the flowers and garland from the First Frost set in Blushing Bride and Mossy Meadow inks. The larger label in Sahara Sand is from the Stitched Labels dies and the smaller one with the sentiment is from the Wonderful Romance suite. The sentiment from the Meant to Be stamp set was stamped in Merry Merlot. I glued a piece of the Merry Merlot & Copper ribbon to the embossed layer, added the stamped and die cut garland from First Frost on top of that to create the effect of a double banner. After the layering the flowers, I added a Wink of Stella to the blooms.

It is so good to be back stamping after a few weeks away -- I was in crafting withdrawal! But I am home now, and my craft room has been turned upside down getting out my valentines to family and friends and catching up on what I missed while I was in the polar freeze in Colorado and New Jersey!
Everytime I take a break from stamping, I need a jump start for my creative "mojo". After all my cards were delivered, I decided to turn my attention to this week's Paper Craft Crew Challenge (PCC326):
Here is the card I created for this challenge:
My inspiration for this card was the Needle & Thread suite (stamps, DSP and Needlepoint Elements framelits). I first ran my Daffodil Delight CS through the Big Shot with the largest die to add some interest to the background. I cut a strip of the DSP to run across the width of the card; added a square of DSP and topped that with a smaller square in Balmy Blue that was embossed with the Tufted TIEF. The sentiment was stamped in Blueberry Bushel, die cut and adhered to the squares. The leaf elements were cut and punched and a little butterfly was stamped, colored and punched from Butterfly Gala. I added Wink of Stella to the wings and a little rhinestone for bling!
