Simply Saturday

Today my 4, almost 5 year old had a plan. She picked out a bunch of different papers from my stash, and asked for some help. She wanted me to trace her hand, and help her cut it out…with part of her arm traced too.  Then we cut out some flowers and a flower pot. She glued it all together and wrote ‘I Love You’ on it and said ‘Happy Mother’s Day, mommy. Here’s some flowers.’ It was so sweet. But, she only wanted one flower cut out of each paper. Then, lightning struck, and I finally had a spark of creativity. I used those scraps of paper to make a few small thank you cards with coordinating envelopes.  Of course I used my handy, dandy Art Philosophy cartridge, and one of my favorite stamp sets ‘Say it in Style’  I got these all put together in about 30 minutes.

Project using scraps!

I saw this fun card sketch at PageMaps and thought it would be a great way to use up some scraps!

Here’s my take:

The card base is CTMH Chocolate cardstock, I used the Art Philosophy cartridge to cut the banner pieces. The paper was some lilybee scraps I had lying around. I also used stamp set “Say it in Style” and the Baker’s twine Paradise Assortment.

Remember, today is the LAST day to enter this week’s giveaway!

You’re Invited

I have a LOT of invitations to make for an upcoming church activity. I thought this would be the perfect way to use some of my stash that I don’t readily use. A long, long time ago I picked up a 300ct package of pre-scored A2 card bases. I thought, hey, I make a lot of cards this will be handy. Well, 4-5 years later I am left with an assortment of colors that I haven’t had a use for…until today!

I cut each A2 card base in half to reduce bulk, and get more invites out of the paper. I just have a quick print-out to glue to the other side and they’ll be ready to hand out on Sunday…that is if I can get all 60 of them done by then. Wish me luck!

Here is a close up of my favorite color combo. The patterned cardstock is from the Sonoma paper pack. So, pretty!
