Hey y'all, how's your week going? Ryan's birthday was yesterday, which in the evening involved tacos, yet more cake, and opening presents. He was excited to get whoopie cushions (really?) and a Nerf gun. To be honest I'll be excited when the cake is gone, I ate way too much last night!
Anyway, I have a cute little card to share today and it just makes me happy, take a look:
I hadn't *planned* on getting the Silly Goose stamp set, but somehow it came to my house anyway (I was just far too tempted after seeing so many cute cards that other people were making!). So for my first goose card, I turned to the Paper Players color challenge:
At first, the only Crumb Cake was a bit of shading on the goose, so I added some Crumb Cake Enamel Dot Essentials to make it more obvious that I had included the color. I paired that with the excellent triptych sketch from Hand Stamped Sentiments:
It's a looser interpretation, I'm counting the sentiment banner for the circle element in the sketch and the goose and his vellum circle are part of the sketch's center panel. And the two patterns I chose for the panels happen to be both sides of the same double-sided sheet of paper, which just makes me happy for some reason.
That's it for me today, peeps. I have been working hard on a series of scrapbook layouts this week, I've got three layouts done except for journaling, a fourth in process, and then one more to go for that particular series. We'll see how far I can get today since we're going on a trip tomorrow. Cheers!

You had me at the title of the blog post today Christie - I love that movie! Anyway, I digress - that card is just so cute!! I am adding it to my collection to CASE - such a great way to use the set! The party sounds like fun - in my experience whoopie cushions hold endless appeal to young boys of a certain age and too much cake sounds like a great time was had by all! Thanks for playing with us over at The Paper Players this week!
