Thinking Of You Card Using CTMH Swan Lake Paper Pack

Hello friends!  We are planning our vacation and hoping we are able to go this year.  Say a prayer for us.  It is a challenge to take a trip with my allergies to smells.  It appears that most hotel chains have a lot of air fresheners that add a strong smell to the air all over the buildings on a regular basis.  They also use laundry detergents with a strong smell.  I can't breathe with any smells; so it does make planning a vacation a big challenge.

We go to Branson, MO once a year and stay in a condo; while we visit family in the area. We went several months ago.  The staff are wonderful and do their best to make it smell free for me.  We haven't been on a vacation for several years other than Branson; so I decided we had to try it again. 

I bought some of the new papers from CTMH and wanted to create a few cards.  This is one that I created using one of the Picture My Life Cards that come with the CTMH Swan Lake paper pack. All I had to do was cut the card down a little and add it to a card base.  I then stamped the front sentiment with Versa mark ink and used embossing powder. For some reason, it smeared a little.  I love this sweet image.  We also have a stamp set and dies to match this paper pack. The stamp set is sold alone or as a bundle with the dies.  You can see it on a previous post. 

Found in our Holiday Expressions Idea book 
It has a lot of other products to go with it as well.

Paper - CTMH Swan Lake Paper Pack - X7212B
Cardstock - CTMH Poppy 
Sentiment - CTMH So Many Smiles C1619
