Hello Life for Paper Players #228

Hello there, stamping friends! Well, I am trying to get back into the swing of things on my blog and I'm slowly but surely getting into the "crafty groove" again. This week at The Paper Players our  lovely hostess, LeAnne has a fun challenge to get the creativity flowing. We are keeping it Clean and Simple (CAS) with a focus on the sentiment. 
I love cards with big, BOLD sentiments! As soon as I saw the challenge LeAnne had planned for us, I knew I wanted to use the new Hello Life stamp set. I ADORE this sentiment! The color combo is Hello Honey, Bermuda Bay and Smokey Slate.

Here is quick shot of the inside of the card: 
Please join us over at The Paper Players! The challenge closes on Friday, January 23rd, 2015 at Noon (PST). Stop by and say hello to the Design Team. Thank you so much for stopping by to visit today. Happy Stamping! :)

Before I sign off, I wanted to share a photo of my Ozzy that I took on Christmas Eve. My sweet boy is 10 years old this year and I can't believe it. Time sure flies, doesn't it? 
PS: I have had a few messages about sharing photos of my new craft space here on the blog...I have a little more work to do and then I will post a some photos, I promise. I have one desk to paint and just got some storage delivered from Stamp N' Storage (Hooray!) that I'm trying to get organized and placed. Almost finished...

  11. AM, when I saw this challenge I knew it was perfect for you! As usual, you have pulled together some fabulous colors and, even though you have multiple layers, the card still has great clean lines. As for Ozzy...... makes my heart melt :-)
    So good to have you back with us and playing again
