Seasons Givings Year 5 Blog Hop

Hello! The winner of the $15 Butterfly Reflections Ink gift card is comment #8!

Congratulations ColleenB! Please send your email address to alwaysctr @yahoo.com

Thank you!!

Hello and welcome to the Seasons Givings Year 5 Blog Hop! This year has been a very special year for my family as we welcomed our baby girl Abby June into the world. Life has been pretty darn busy, but I still make time for my favorite hobby, stamping! If you want to see pics of my little cutie be sure to follow me on Instagram @veezalis

Today I am sharing a card and sentiment that hits home for me.

Rest and Relax, perfect advice after a busy year and Holiday Season!

Here is the full card:

To create this card I used the Papertrey Ink stamp set "Cuppa Love". The background was created using MFT Gingham background stamp.
