Face it

I miss their face.
My family is spread out all over the country and I miss being able to give them a hug or a kiss. This week the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge theme is "Faces". I would love to kiss their face, but today a card will have to do.
I created a card with a smiling, friendly face that reminds me of my Grandmother. The image is actually a part of a larger stamp. You've seen me use this Paper Artsy face before. I love this stamp! It's one of my favorites. The clouds were cut with die on Neenah's Kraft paper and were created with mists and sprays and inks. And don't you adore that sentiment? It's so cute!
Kiss their face while you can. Today and everyday.
Show us your face! Join us this week at the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge Blog and your project could win a $50 gift voucher to Simon Says Stamp.  We draw a new winner each week. Your project could also be chosen to be featured in our weekly designer spotlight.

    Super cool card and I loved the story behind it! As I've said before, you have a wonderful talent for evoking emotion through your art and you always remember your roots. I love that this stamp reminds you of your Grandmother. I also like the eclectic elements you combined to give this card a sophisticated and whimsical look.
