CASology “Welcome”

I’d hoped to have two entries to this week’s CASology Challenge, “Welcome,” since we have not one, but two, friends who have just moved into new homes. But the weekend was particularly busy, and only one is finished. It’s a tag attached to the house warming gift we’ll be taking this Friday when we go for dinner.

I used the house from Papertrey Ink’s “Winter Hills,” “welcome” from “Wonderful Words: Baby,” and “new home” from Reverse Confetti’s “Whole Lotta Happy.” I was thrilled to find that last set in my box of stamps, having forgotten that I picked it up a few months ago because it had so many versatile sentiments. They were all gold embossed to match the strip of gold on the tag. Both tags are from a set by Jen Hadfield for Pebbles. The black bag and tissue are both from Paper Source. There’s a Paper Source store within walking distance from Sarah’s house in Evanston, so I almost always make a visit. The fact that it’s several doors down from Caleb’s favorite bakery doesn’t hurt either!

The gift inside is a beautiful winter candle holder which I was thrilled to find at a local gift shop. I picked up another one as a birthday gift for a friend.
