Just Because

Hello Friends! Happy Sunday! I hope you're having a lovely weekend. We stayed home for most of the day yesterday and then we visited my mother-in-law which was nice because she loves spending time with Paige. After that we met some friends for dinner and let me tell you our dinner was the bomb! We went to a seafood restaurant that has the most incredible salad bar ever. I had macadamia nut encrusted snapper with a mango & strawberry salsa...DELICIOUS!

I was also able to get a little crafting time in as well. I continued making my Christmas cards and I'm having so much fun because I listen to Christmas music on Pandora while I'm working. It truly puts a smile on my face. I absolutely LOVE the holidays! My plan is to take photos of the cards today so I can share them with you soon.

Today I'm sharing a card I made for a co-worker. I think I really need to make a stash of these cards so I can have them on hand for any occasion.

This card came together really easily because the patterned paper is so darn pretty! It's from PTI and it's called Vintage Linens. I didn't do much except add the beautiful script die cut, also from PTI called Scripted and I picked up that cute button from my local craft store. Quick, easy and I think really pretty. Note to Self: I seriously need to take 30 minutes and just whip up a bunch of these. LOL!

 

I hope the rest of your day is great, and thank you so much for stopping by!

TGIF!!

Hello Friends! Happy Friday to all of you. Friday's are always happy days in the Weatherspoon household, it marks the end of the work week (although sometimes my hubby works on weekends), the start of the weekend, and a day that's generally relaxing and fun!

Remember I told you that I was working on a 30 card order for a co-worker of mine and I finally finished about a week ago? Well, I'm going to spend the next few posts dedicated to those cards. Since her order was for quite a few cards I decided to make 2 cards using the same layout and just change up the colors or patterned paper a bit.

 

 



As you can see with the two cards above, I chose to use a kraft card base, and the same background stamp. One background was stamped vertically and the other horizontally, then I used the beautiful flowers from a Papertrey Ink stamp set and ahered those with foam adhesive. The final touches were making a mat for my sentiment and a little patterned paper along the bottom. It's a simple, yet elegant card. The inspiration for these cards came from the super talented Nichole Heady
