Carve a Smile

     I love Doodle Pantry stamps!  This one is from a couple of years ago and I don't think I've used it before.  Shame on me!   But it's just too cute to languish in the stash any longer.


I added my sentiment to the inside, wanting to keep the outside as CAS as possible.
It's also from Doodle Pantry.  This time, I guess my "white" space is black.


I took my colors primarily from House That Stamps Built.

     The doily is cut with a die from Cheery Lynn, from paper by Lawn Fawn.  The bow is one of those I make myself and toss in my stash for use as needed.  It was made from white satin ribbon and I used my ProMarkers to 'dye' it the shade of purple I wanted.

     It's the start of  new week and for those of us in the US, we're celebrating Columbus Day today.  It's not a huge holiday as celebrations go but most of the city, county, state, and federal offices are closed, along with most of the banks and some of the schools.  Me?  I'll take any excuse to stay home and craft all day, especially after being gone a good share of last week.  Happy Stamping.  NanaConnie
