I Love a Block Party

Well I am happy to report that we survived Irene. While it was not an easy experience (hours of tornado warnings with a few touchdowns not to far from us, heavy wind and rain, and no sleep), I am so thankful that we suffered no damage, aside from a very soggy yard and some fallen branches. In fact, the sun is out and shining as I type this!

Normally I wouldn't post twice in one day, but I really wanted to join in the fun over at Market Street Stamps.  They are hosting a Block Party - how fun! I love a good party.
This is one of the fastest cards I've made. Probably because I had the sketch on a post-it note stuck my lamp for like 3 weeks, so it was just a matter of putting it all together. Believe it or not I used 3 of their stamp sets for this simple card. The grid background, the sentiment, and I stamped little hearts within the big heart die cut.

Sadly, Irene did not post-pone my husbands fantasy football draft this evening so I'm flying solo with dinner and bedtime.  Hope you all have a great night!

    So glad to hear Irene didn't totally turn everything upside down by you! I am so glad you were able to join us for the Market St Block Party! I adore how you used three different sets but made them totally work together! It's fabulous! Love the black on tan cardstock. Very vintage-fresh! :)
