Post 1 of 2 for me today...click HERE for my carbs card.


So many stamps, not enough time.

I'm trying to catch up on my stamp purchases...what a problem to have, eh?  Obviously, I may or may not have a shopping issues (sigh), but I can't resist cute stuff.

Here's a card using 2 new sets:


I finally inked up my 

Sweet Stamp Shop

Ahoy!


and

Sail Away Sayings


I did my stamping on a Project Life Americana card.


See the boat?  It has been pieced with Cherry Veneer.  The chevrons were a part of the PL card so I used them in my little scenery :)

I absolutely adore the Carta Bella Ahoy There Collection....who can resist kraft with white stars?

I'm a huge fan of Divine Twine and this is what started it for me:

Air Mail Divine Twine

My card was inspired by

CAS(E) this Sketch!


Big shout out to my IRL friend, Kimberly who is Guesting over at CTS!

Another adorable card! The white stars look perfect on the kraft cardstock! And I seem to have the same problem as you - too many stamps, not enough time. Guess that's a good problem to have LOL!

Your card is a wonderful translation of the airmail package inspiration! So absolutely sweet with the nautical details! Pure delight!! As for 'having too many stamps"...excellent!! No issues from where I'm sitting!
