Simple Card

This past week has been a blurr with all the painting I did around the house along with cleaning up the yard. I did manage to make a card for a challenge, but lost all the details on which challenge I was doing it for (LOL). Any way, I thought why not post it and show it off. It was so simple... all I used was a Stampin' Up flower stamp and 2 different circle punches.

I left it without a sentiment as it can be used as a thank you card, thinking of your card, or just a simple hi card to someone who needs a pick me up.

Lasting Impressions

A few months ago my friend Heather and I took a Lasting Impressions class at Thanks for the Memories in Lake Zurich. We had a lot of fun making cards, laughing with all the ladies, and trying out embossing using templates.

If you get the opportunity, I would highly recommend taking a Lasting Impressions class at your local scrapbook store. Also, if you are ever in Northern Illinois drop by TFTM and say hi to the owner Sue.

Where's Sue?

Sorry for being MIA the last few days. I took vacation time from work and while I didn't go anywhere, my parents came by and helped me paint & repair my deck and wooden shed. After putting in a few hard days of labor, I couldn't lift my arms to even try and stamp. I promise to be back and in full swing starting tomorrow.

Happy Saturday!

Sketch Saturday Challenge

This week at Sketch Saturday was another great sketch challenge.

Earlier in the week I download this really adorable digi stamp that reminded me of my niece. As soon as I saw this challenge, I knew it would work perfectly to create a darling card. My niece's favorite color is purple, so I decided to color the digi stamp with shades of purple and lavendar. The Imaginisce paper coordinated perfectly.

I just love how this card turned out.

Tuesday Morning Sketches

This week at Tuesday Morning Sketches they posted a sketch that would work great for all those scraps of paper that you just can't throw away.

I knew I wanted to make a card using the left over scraps of purple and yellow papers I had, but not until this sketch came out did I know what I was going to do. I didn't have any coordinating pattern paper, so I took some purple ink and a QuicKutz stamp and stamped it all over a white piece of card stock.

I think this turned out really cute. What do you think?
