I recently got my box of new catalog goodies, but I haven’t had time to play with them.  How frustrating is that?!?  Well, I carved out a half an hour to play with a new set called Pictogram Punches and the new Hearts and Stars Decorative Masks (what I would call stencils).

I really can’t wait to play with these decorative masks more.  I am itching to get out some modeling past and gesso and try some different techniques with them.  For this card, I just used a sponge dauber to apple some Whisper White Craft ink over the stencil.

One other new love I have discovered is this new 1/4″ Cotton Ribbon.  I am going to have to get more (all) colors of it.  It ties so beautifully and it is so pretty.

I hope you have a great weekend.  My two oldest left for camp bright and early this morning.  I have some projects that I need to finish up this weekend, and then I’m looking forward to some one-on-one time with my youngest.  That will be a treat.  Thanks for stopping by!
