Finally, my mojo is back from its unannounced five-day holiday! LOL I needed to add some masculine birthday and thank you cards to my stash so I reached for my new Paper Smooches stamps. I love them more than I can say and you will, too! ;)
This first card uses the worm from Birthday Buddies. I paper pieced him with Echo Park's Little Boy Collection and I'm proud to say that it'll be the first patterned paper collection I will ever re-order! Can you believe that?! I've been proudly cutting into it and enjoying it every much.
Next up, I have a thank you card with a ton of gorgeous white space. Those of you who have been following my blog for a while know that I'll find a way to turn pretty much anything into a flower! Here, I used the plaid heart and acorn leaves from Falling For You. It turns out that five of those hearts fit perfectly together to make a flower which I coloured with my Copic markers. I love how they turned out and I love the giant hand-written sentiment from Pretty Phrases!
I'm including this second card as part of the Splitcoaststampers' CAS119 challenge to make a card inspired by the word 'gift'. I received a very nice gift recently so I will be mailing this to the sender. That's it from me today! Hopefully my mojo won't run off again and I'll be back soon. ;)

I love the collection I have now!!! I do think this is my fave brand! I'm curious what you'll create with your new order!
Wishing you a lovely day & hoping mojo sticks with you!
