This card is a simple A2 and I cut the top note from Cricut Lite Lacy Labels. I used a stamp and some embossing powder for the sentiment--Life is better when it's fun! That is so true.

Manic Monday---
This is going to be a crazy Monday--leaving Akron/Canton Ohio this morning driving to Columbus flying to Dallas, than going to the American Idol Concert tonight! The NFL Hall of Fame was great--I took about 600 pictures (some are just awful but most are great) and I will be pulling those together to share with you next week--Dallas won so it was worth staying for! On to the Card-
I challenged myself to see how many cards I could make from just two 12x12 sheets of pattern paper and supplies I already had--I made 6 cards (one a day this week) at a cost of less than $5.
This card is a simple A2 and I cut the top note from Cricut Lite Lacy Labels. I used a stamp and some embossing powder for the sentiment--Life is better when it's fun! That is so true.
I used the back side of the pattern paper which was a distressed solid and a Martha Stewart edge punch to create the trim and some deep purple gross grain ribbon (2.50 at Michael's). A couple of purple pearls really help set it off. I also used them on the inside to tie the total look together-
I love a fully furnished card--and the pearls on the inside make it very special. Like I said I have a card a day this week so stop in each day to check out the next creation--I promise no two look alike--so enjoy.
Make it a great one

Bryan,
ReplyDeleteI miss you!!! :) Glad to see you're having fun being as crafty as ever and the Football Hall of Fame sounds neat! I used to be a Dallas fan, too (I still like the team-just not as into football now that my former UCLA classmate has retired)...
Have a safe trip back and a GREAT time at American Idol,
Jennifer
P.S.
I can never thank you enough for all of your help with the baby shower!!! :) I REALLY appreciate it! We had a great time and everyone loved your creations. I even bought the baby paper from Hobby Lobby for the thank you notes (we had people self-address the envelopes and had a drawing for a prize; then I put stamps on them and it makes it so easy for the mother-to-be). I'll have to share the miniature magazine holder I made to keep them in...thank you, thank you, thank you! Mwah!
Beautiful card!!! Love the colors and papers. Have a great trip :)
ReplyDeleteLike this card! very pretty. I just have one question and maybe you can answer it in another segment. Do you take your Cricut with you on your trips? I going on vacation and would love to take mine but hardly think I would be able to. Have fun and enjoy all your travels.
