It has been a long process, but I finally was able to hold a Saturday Play Day last Saturday. Moving is definitely not for the faint of heart and getting my craft room set up has been slow. I am still moving things around. But the good news is that I am making progress and every day gets a tiny bit more organized. I hope to post a picture of my craft room (at least as it is now) soon! I really do love working in it!
One of my favorite sets in the January - June Mini Catalog is the Grace’s Garden Stamp Set, so I decided to use it for March Play Day. I found a card on Pinterest that I fell in love with and pretty much straight CASED it with only a few changes. You can find the card I CASED by Kerry Bunting, kbpapercraft.blogspot.com, post dated January 3, 2020. Here is a picture of my project:
and the inside looks like this:

Thanks for stopping by to visit my little blog. These are crazy days with the Coronovirus fears; we all need to take good care of ourselves and our families. Stamping and crafting are good ways to help keep your sanity while you are staying in more. Doyle and I are also trying to take a walk around our neighborhood (even on the cooler days it is good to get out of the house for a few minutes) and we are meeting our new neighbors when they are outside!
Happy crafting,
Linda
