Happy World Card Making Day!

For the blog hop today I created two cards based on Dawn's RSSC #17 . Seventeen is my lucky number!!



I stamped the background using an image from Simply Stationery on kraft, cut it, and used each piece to create two cards.



The "just a note" sentiment comes from Autumn Abundance and the "thank you so much" is from Damask Designs.



Thanks for visiting today and hope you are able to celebrate this special day by making a card or two!

Happy Birthday to you!

Hi everyone! I made this card following Dawn's latest color challenge . The colors are so autumnal and gorgeous together. I really enjoyed this challenge and I wished that I had PTI's First Fruits set to use that wheat image, that would have been perfect!



I used Background Basics: Retro, Autumn Abundance and Damask Designs for the sentiment.



Thanks for coming by! I appreciate your visit!

RSCC #15 and CPS #130

So I worked really hard on this card...starting it as a smaller size and then resizing the pieces for 5x7 card...but after all my work, I don't like it! I'm not sure what exactly I don't like...



I used a whole lot of stamps on this card and followed the CPS Sketch #130 as well as Dawn's Raspberry Suite Color Challenge #15 . And this also qualifies for our Papertrey Princess Challenge given by Lee to use a sketch.

Thanks for stopping by and hope this card won't scare you away in the future!!
