Dreamer

**For my CAS-ual Fridays post, please scroll down, or click here**
 

"Now the dreamer is the lucky one
who knows deep in his heart
that all of us are children
believers from the start"
-Disney

 

I was lucky enough to guest design for two months for Skipping Stones Design and fell in love with the images, the quality and the uniqueness of their stamps.  Lucky me that a design team call was issued at the right time and after applying, I was asked to be a member of this talented team! I've been blessed with a number of opportunities since I've started blogging, and this is icing on the cake. I'm a firm believer in having a dream and shooting for those dreams.

My card today features my new most favorite Skipping Stones Design stamp set, Sentiment Frames, and another fabulous color combination from the inspiration board at Jay Gee's Nook. (I love her challenges!)


Supplies Used:
Cardstock: (White) Office Max
Stamps: (Sentiment Frames) Skipping Stones Design
Ink: (Wild Honey Distress) Ranger
Embellishments: (Rhinestone) Michaels
Other: (Lemonade Mr. Huey Mist) Studio Calico
