I hope you are having a lovely weekend. Ours looks to be low-key, no birthday parties or ball games, we can just relax. What a great time to get ahead on cardmaking. Here is a birthday card I made with one of the flowers done with the <a href="https://thefrugalcrafter.wordpress.com/2012/04/24/diy-hybrid-art-clay-crafty-recipe/">homemade clay</a> I shared earlier this week and some cute stamps that came free with a magazine I bought last week.</p>

<p>I was really surprised when I saw the April issue of Cardmaking &amp; Papercraft (A UK magazine) at my local JoAnn Fabrics. I expected it to cost $20 but it was 10.99, then it was on sale for 10% off and on top of that I had a 20% off total purchase so I got the magazine and a large set of stamps for $8! It is an adorable set and I&#8217;m sure you will see me use it many times! I will have to keep my eye out for that mag to see if they offer free stamps with it again! I used my <a href="http://www.letraset.com/shopaff.asp?affid=48">ProMarkers</a> to color the image.</p>
