Thinking of You

Hellooooooo and happy Thursday!

Today's card was meant to follow a sketch that I had printed off my computer and have been contemplating...but then I started to deviate. And when I went back to add the elements the sketch called for, I was already in love with this layout too much to comprimise.
For this card I used Day Dreamer from my set of Sugar Nellie Leanne Ellis stamps. This is very much how I grew up...always a dreamer...always thinking of the world outside my window and very curious about how people think, feel and differ from one another. I love this cutie patootie image. Oh and if you're curious as to whether or not I overdid it with the distress ink...nope, none, the patterned paper comes distressed already. :) Thanks for stopping by!

Plop Plop Fizz Fizz

Hiya! First, let me apologize for the horrible photos. I keep my camera at work and over the weekend I made a quick card for my sister to celebrate her getting a second BA. I didn't think I would end up liking it SO much and then, of course, I didn't have my camera. And so, another camera phone shot and this one is not so great. Sorry! But at least you get the idea. Happy Wednesday!

A Special Day

Hello and Happy Monday! I had a very relaxing weekend, complete with lots of card making time. I'm excited to show you some of those cards this week. I'm especially excited to show you today's card that was inspired by a dear friend of mine who isn't afraid to use color. I chose the stamp first, Leanne Ellis's "Blossom" (you might remember her from last week) and then I just had to use this adorable paper from K & Company (I think it has whales on it)! After that, I just let the colors do their thing. Thanks for stopping by and don't be shy, no comment is unwelcome!

Tell People That You Care

Good Morning (or good afternoon or evening)! I hope that you all are having a fine start to your week.

'Tell People That You Care' is my theme for today and I can't think of a person who embodies this more than my friend, Kelly. She really knows how to show and tell people that they matter and are cared for. If there's every anything going on with one of us in our little group of friends she is one of the first to send an email or drop a little encouragement into the mail. I am amazed and so grateful that our paths crossed. And I'm so blessed to call her my friend.
So, with all that said...I received a little surprise in my mailbox on Friday from Kelly. This phrase written by Susan Kantor is a handmade stamp that is only available at Kelly's LSS. I thought that was pretty cool and I am excited that I get to own one! And I couldn't agree more with that little saying. Thanks, Kel!!
Hugs,
Kadie
