A Pretty Hello

I followed a sketch to make this card but the rest is all mine! Yea! I have spent the whole day "CASE"ing and now I finally made something on my own. Ok, so this is what I am calling a pretty hello card. I started with the focal point. I had actually made it for something else but I messed it up. Rather than throwing it out, I followed the advice I give to the kids..."If you mess it up, dress it up." So I just put it together following the sketch and it came out nice and clean.
Supplies used: Sahara Sand, Whisper White, Old Olive and Rich Razzleberry card stock
Ink:  Rich Razzleberry
Markers: Old Olive, Rich Razzleberry, Tempting Turquoise
Accessories: Dotted Scallop  Ribbon Border punch, Rich Razzleberry 1/8" ribbon

Fresh Vintage - A 10 Minute Card

I am just sharing a quick card that I made using the SAB stamp set Fresh Vintage. I only used 2 colors of ink, Soft Suede and Poppy Parade, Whisper White card stock and a piece of ribbon. This is truly a 10 minute card from start to finish. How about that?

Manly Elementary Elegance

Do you find yourself challenged to make masculine cards? Well, I know I am and so are most of my stamping friends so when you see a good one you want to make it right away. I saw this one of Fran Sanbad's blog and cased it right away making a couple of minor changes. Now I have a manly man card that you can create for yourself and it is made using one of the great FREE SAB stamp sets called Elementary Elegance! A bonus: this little card took less than 5 minutes to make. This also works for the Paper Players Clean and Simple challenge this week.
