I love this time of year

I LOVE this time of year! I'm always interested in a deal and when the new cattys come out I'm on the lookout for stamp sets I put off purchasing that demos are unloading. Last night I purchased 3 used stamp sets, 1 used single stamp, 1 used standard wheel, 4 partial rolls of ribbon, and a full pkg of this SWEET DP! This - Bella Bleu - and the Cottage Wall, and Cast-A-Spell Halloween DP were probably my favs in the last catty, tho' all I purchased was a paper share's worth.

I used some of my new-to-me DP and pulled out some punches for the current Got Sketch 101 sketch and Punch It! challenges. Isn't it just gorgeous?! I'm just sayin' ... I love monochromatic CAS cards! Methinks they're soothing.
Quick post tonite, as I'm hitting the hay. This card's heading to my sister and her DH for their upcoming anniversary!
