Sale - A - Bration Goodness!

Hello there! Happy Thursday to you!!! Oh my, the weather here in Michigan is crazy! Last weekend we had a snow storm with over a foot of snow (gotta love lake effect!) and then it was in the mid 50s.. today, its downright freezing! Blowing snow, and a balmy 18F! Break out the parkas again baby!

I am slacking today - a little late blogging this morning (or is it afternoon?) - I have to say.. I'm just slow moving in general today. Ever have one of those days? Today's card.. is so simple.. yet it is one of my favorites. With Sale - A - Bration in full swing, I thought I'd use a few stamp sets from the Sale - A - Bration brochure today and throughout the rest of the week.







While at Leadership, I seen some adorable cards that both Shellie and her daughter Sara made. This is where this card was inspired from. I love it!! Simple yet elegant is what I'm really digging lately.

What I Used:

Vintage Versus Stamp Set - Sale - A - Bration!!
Artisan Embellishments Kit - I've ordered 4 of these now.. LOVE it!! 
Crumb Cake Card Stock

I hope you have a fantabulous day!! Thank you so much for stopping by today! If you have any questions about Sale - A - Bration, please let me know! It is Stampn` Up!'s biggest promotion of the year and so many wonderful things happening! It just makes me smile big!

I want to give full credit to Mary Fish. I seen this card she made and I wanted to reproduce it.
