Thank You Card

As promised, here's another new GCD Studios card for you. I made the whole card, but once it was done I realized I forgot to add a sentiment. Eek! So, I took some old rub-ons and turned the patterned paper into sentiment/patterned paper. I think it turned out pretty cute. I love a bright & happy card.


Thanks for stopping by!

Miss You

 Well, it's time for me to say, "goodbye" to my year with GCD Studios. I had a hard time coming up with a final project, so I've actually made more than one! We'll start with this little ditty...


I had so much fun working with this bright & cheery paper. Stay tuned tomorrow for another card...

LYB Sketch Challenge


Well, Little Yellow Bicycle invited me back again to join in on a sketch challenge that they're hosting on their blog. Since I haven't made a scrapbook page in FOREVER, I thought I'd go ahead with accepting their offer to guest design again and give it a try.  Here's the sketch...
And since I'm more of an 8.5x11 person (being a cardmaker and all), I made this layout...


You're all welcome and invited to join in on the sketch challenge. Here are the challenge details that I've copied from the LYB Blog...

Hip Hip Hooray!

Yeppers, I have another card I made a few months ago for you. This one coordinates with the card I just posted for LeeLou Blogs a couple days ago. I told you I really love these colors! :-)



I told you last time that I love printables because you can print them any size you like and also over and over to mass produce projects. I also love that you can adjust color. The original files are bright and fun, but I turned the hue down just a tad bit to more of a pastel tone to go with my papers. I just LOVE LOVE LOVE all the possibilities! Head on over to LeeLou Blogs to check it out, and tell her I sent ya!
