I'll also be teaching this card at my April card classes. If you want more info about my card classes please send me an email. I still have a few spots open on Monday and Tuesday of next week.
Supplies (all CTMH): Desert Sand, Colonial White CS, glossy CS, Desert Sand, Sweet Leaf and Bamboo stamp pads, April Word Puzzle stamps. Colonial White brads.
Additional Note: I was so excited to post this card I forgot to give credit to Kathi and this card she created yesterday. I love her clean lines (and the stamp set). I seem to be "lifting" a lot from her lately. So much so, that she could probably be considered my muse!
I also finished the baby sized poncho. It's supposed to be a 3-6 month size (using sz 8 needles). I used size 10 needles so my gague was slightly bigger and I would guess it's closer to a 12month size. It fits Sammie's build-a-bear pretty well though - dontcha think? Now I have to try and figure out how many stitches to add to the 3 year old size pattern (largest they have) so that it fits my daughter. That's what makes knitting so difficult! The sizing part is tough.

As a side note... I don't think I will ever fly again without a knitting project. It was great having my hands busy during the flight, and feeling like I was accomplishing something. Also, knitting doesn't take much room, so I didn't feel like I was disturbing anyone around me. And I couldn't believe it, but the woman sitting in front of me on the way home was also knitting!

Ok, the poncho is absolutely darling!! Too cute.
I LOVE your card. I've been working on a few cards with that set for my April word puzzle club--it's a fun set! I hadn't thought of putting the little square stamp together like that--it's great! I love the fossiled stone technique too! I taught it last fall with autum,n colors and leaf cards--my ladies loved it. I haven't done it in a while, might need to try it again soon :)
Nona,
You finished the bear poncho! It turned out really cute. You are fast with the knitting--takes me forever!
