I'm in LOVE with the white woodgrain cardstock from Simon Says Stamp! It's absolutely fabulous and I must have more lol. If you haven't signed up for the card kit of the month through them yet, you definitely should. I had been wanting to sign up for months and I finally did last week and I'm just thrilled with the amount of product they send you with the kits. It's great, I feel like I get a little present in the mail every month lol. The card kit is only $19.95 a month, you can cancel it at any time, and the kit always comes with a fabulous stamp set and tons of coordinating cardstocks and embellishments.  If you're interested and want to know more about the card kit of the month just click here and it will take you to their Q&A page about the card kit subscription. As always, thank you for following along with me today and I hope you'll come back next time.

I'm actually using this card for my sisters birthday card so the front says "thinking of you" and the inside says "on your birthday".  I wrote my personal message to my sister inside the card before taking a picture of it so thats why there is no inside picture in this post.  I used the same layout for the inside using the left over scraps of paper from the front and used a white circle for the inside spot to write a message. Thats all for today, don't forget to check out the fun challenge over at sss blog (link above) and join in!
