Just a Note...

Hi!!  I have actually had some time to stamp the last few days after a very busy few weeks!! I do still have quite a hefty to-do list but I really wanted to stamp for a while so I took a break and did just that!

Here is one of the cards I made.  You all know how much I LOVE color...


This uses the colors from the Curtain Call Color Challenge #65.  What fun colors to work with!

Can you see the text impression plate I used on the white cardstock?  It is unbelievable to me what a little bit of impression does to a plain white card base! 


This card also qualifies for the Wee Memories "For the Love of Ribbon" challenge.  I know I only used white ribbon, but I love how crisp and fresh it is and how much it adds to the bright colors on the card!


So, what do you think?  Is is colorful enough?  It sure brightens up this cold and icy Kansas day!! We have no school today due to the ice we've had coming down.  Have I mentioned how ready I am for Spring!!?


If you get a chance, play along with the challenges!! They are so much fun and really get your mind working...sometimes outside of your comfort zone! :)  Have a great day!

    I think your card is fabulous! Love all those bright colors and the use of the notepaper die to give it some texture.

    You did a great job with these colors Jen! I too haven't figured out how to use them just yet. I love how you added the coordinating baker's twine and that IP sure jazzes the white panel up!

    I do love the bright happy and clean look of this card. I have just bought some of that twine - it looks great there and so does the textured white card. Gorgeous!

    Very cute idea for a card Jen. I love the notebook edge and the bright colors. I really like the text impression on the white too.

    Jen, I'm so glad you had a chance to play - because this card is a RIOT of fun! I love the way you've layered the cut edges like this - I've never seen that particular die used like that before! The twine is such a perfect touch with this - it all works so well together!
