Happy Saturday to you! Can you believe another week has passed us by? Well, it was an amazing week for me! I just spent the last week in my most FAVOURITE location....the cottage! I don't know why I love the cottage so much as we do a fair amount of traveling and have seen so many amazing things, but the cottage is just like home to me. A place where I can relax, enjoy and just take life moment by moment! I love it and I think the kids do too! (Nathan especially!) I'll have more stories to share in MDS posts and pages in the near future I'm sure....considering I took over 1000 photos! Yes, 1000 photos of a place we go to every summer! LOVE IT!
I'm calling today a "Teneale" card. For those of you that don't know of Teneale...where have you been! Kidding, but in all honesty you need to check out her blog as she is amazing! Anyhow, I think Teneale is THE reason that SU brought the French Foliage stamp set back into the big catalogue from a past mini! She uses it on SO many of her cards and it just adds to the card (it's the little splotches, cursive writings and circle stamp.) They are hard to see, but they sure do add to this card!
This is actually a card I made for Adam. I would have added a little more "fluff" (Adam's words!) if it weren't for him as I think the flirty Coral ribbon would have been great on this card! The colours on this card are Riding Hood Red, Calypso Coral, Soft Suede and Very Vanilla. (the stems are Always Artichoke as well:) Aren't these colours yummy together? I think so!

Hi Heather... gorgeous card!! I love it.
Question for you - How do you store your thousands of photos to be able to use while you are creating with MDS. Surely, your iphoto must be saying it is full and you need more space.

Lovely card Heather! You surely have done Teneale proud!!

Just WOW! I'm off to practice a "Tenealized" type of card. I must have that set now!

I love how "Tenealed" and Tenealized" are becoming verbs in the stamping world! Great Card Heather!

Love this card and the fact that you Tenealled it!
I just found out about her use of the French Follage stamp set and Love it.
I hope Adam enjoyed your card - it looks amazing!

I just saw this post come up on my feed and straight away.....awwww I love that card, so I quickly scrolled down I saw my NAME! You are to funny kid {LOL}
The colours are amazing and LOVE the light stamping of the background stamp which I now wish was in our Australian Catty {sad face} BUT we are getting that flower set next month so I should be happy about that.
OMG I miss you so MUCH.... I want to come and visit!
