Happy Monday! Whew…it feels GREAT to be home and sleep in my own bed! It was a bittersweet weekend but all in all…a GREAT weekend of memories…tears…laughter….and friendship! It was so great to see so many that we have not seen for years and we picked up right where we left off!
Today is the personal challenge of Make it Mine…and below you will see the sketch! This card is as easy as saying 1-2-3- and it is for my wonderful husbeand John as he has been amazing with all of the back and forth we have been doing! I LOVE having animals…BUT it is a challenge to be away!
John was a "rock" to me this weekend and sooooo darn patient in helping. I have learned that he adores when I send him "random and unexpected cards" to his office and I hope that this will bring a smile to his face!
This is sooooo easy that you do not need me but simple works…simple is clean…simple is great!
Now that Stampin' Up! has offered so many color choices of "Cut and Ready" bases that it is a total time saver. Sometimes we just need this when time is of the essence!
You know me, I love the stamp-a-ma-jig and this was my friend for perfect placement! The stamp set is Groovy Love and it is just "groovy" and I adore the crispness of these polka dots!
A simple Stamp-stamp-stamp in real red was all that was needed and then the super adorable "i love us" from the Good Greetings Stamp Set that can be YOURS with a cyber event…a stamp a stack event or a $300.00 order and it is a keeper of all keepers!
Just look at all of the sentiments in 1 stamp set…don't you love the "font", email me and we will work out a plan to have you earn this!
Stampin' Dimensions add so much and you can see how basic this card is. We all know that time is so valuable to us, so please – do not stress if it does not take a lot of time to make a card…think of it as a gift…and bonus!
I chose the Flash Back DSP as it was in Very Vanilla and I thought that the color helped to pick up the sentiment color….
Adding that special touch to the outer part of the envelope was the icing on the cake! It truly makes me happy and I know that John will love getting a special card in the mail!
Please send me your "take" on this sketch! I am always so amazed at how many of you enjoy the Monday challenges…and I am always so proud of you!
I have some great ideas for you this week and I am excited to share! Many thanks for popping in and many thank for the wonderful comments! I adore each and everyone of them!
Until tomorrow!
Simple is good! I like your card. I have so much trouble with simple!!! I don’t know why. At the same time, I am not interested in doing the highly embellished cards that I think are beautiful, but would never go in an envelope with all the lovely, bulky flowers and/or other embellishments. I guess I do “complicated” cards that are not super ornate. I don’t know!
Anyway, your “simple” card works very well. I’ll have to try that later today!
Glad you got home safely.
Cyberhugs!
Great card and what a surprise it will be. I love that sentiment too. Glad you are home and cozy.
🙂
I love hearts (among many other things ) and this card is so sweet ! Love that sentiment ! Tell John we love him too because he is “one of the good ones ” !!!
I love clean and simple, and this shows how effective that can be! I can’t see your trio of dots–where are they?
This card is so sweet and you can tell it is full of love for your husband! I love the simplicity and elegance of it! Glad you made it home safely.
Susan, Your card is so sweet. I love it. I am so glad you were able to be with your Friends at a very difficult time. Being with good friends help the time go so much better. I am so sorry to hear of your friends death. I know he know how lucky he was to have so many friends and family. Thank you for being a good friend to him and his family. Hugs, Ellen Hinds
Oh, how sweet! That envelope is just perfect for the card! I love it! John will love it.
Glad you made it home safe. Hope you can stay put and veg out some now!
