Look who's spoiled!

Ok, if you remember August 19 was my husband and my 7th anniversary. Since it was a Sunday and it was just at the end of our week long vacation we never really did anything, didn't go out, didn't have a nice dinner, didn't even exchange cards (I know, how awful am I??). Well let me tell you what my very thoughtful husband did. He got on my computer one day, found Christie Ortman's email address and emailed her with a special request. He asked that she put together a box of stamping goodies for me as a surprise gift - he was VERY generous and even had to go through special payments methods to keep it a complete surprise for me. Unfortunately, due to circumstances beyond our control (does anyone else strongly dislike FedEx??) he decided to let me in on the secret. He told me a few days ago about a special package due to arrive from Canada. Well, yesterday IT CAME!! Look at this beautiful box full of fabulous goodies (I sound like a game show host! LOL!). I had so much fun unpacking all the fun things hand-picked for me by Christie and lovingly requested by my husband. Plus, he let me know that there is one thing missing that was ordered but didn't arrive yet - a Bind-it-All is on it's way!! Yea!! Thank you so much honey for being so thoughtful and kind and knowing just what would make a great gift for me!!!

So here is a very quick card I made up this morning with some of my new stamping supplies. (I feel like I've been apologizing a lot lately for bad photography but the dreary days making getting a good picture very difficult!) There were 4 big My Favorite Things sets in the box, including this one Falling for You (of course these are all available from the Corner Store at Paper Pretties, there are also a bunch of things on sale right now!). I love Fall - like a lot of you! I love the crisp air, the falling leaves, and that Fall smell in the air. This card is very simple, but I loved the simplicity of this tree image. The great thing about this set is that there is a tiny leaf image that matches the leaves on the tree so I was able to make my falling leaves and piles on the ground so easily! I used watercolor paper, stamped with my new Brilliance Graphite pad (which I LOVE!!) and colored it with my Prismacolor pencils. The ribbon is some gorgeous olive ribbon that was part of my treats too.

For the foreseeable future you will be seeing lots of projects made with my big box supplies! :) Have a great day everyone and thanks for stopping by!
