WT711 Think Pink

I saw this week's Ways to Use It challenge late Wednesday night.  As soon as I saw the challenge, I had a name of a person come to mind.  I spent a few minutes trying to figure out what stamp, card stock, etc that I was going to use.  I spent some time on Thursday & again today.  My card is very simple for the amount of time I spent on this card!!  sigh   I finally decided that it would be better to finish the card & get it mailed than to keep messing with this.  So... it's getting mailed tomorrow! 

Stamps: Vibrant Thanks Power Poppy

A Daisy

I almost didn't get a card made to post today... but I've got a good streak going of posting a card daily, so I didn't want to break the streak!  LOL  I worked on a couple of things with my mom earlier today & then wasn't super impressed with what I came up with, then I tried a few other images & just couldn't get anything to work.  I LOVE white daisies & a black & white color combo, when the mojo is running low....

Fall Foliage

Does it feel like Fall in your neck of the woods?  We aren't having the 100*+ temps but it still doesn't seem like Fall here. It's easy for me to skip Fall cards all together & then it's November & the focus shifts to Christmas, so I'm wanting to try harder this year.    I combined 2 challenges for this card... CAS501~Fall Foliage  & JUGS~Stripes 

Stamps: Autumn Tim Holtz
c/s: white, brown
copics, distressed stripes ef

Until next time!
