Shabby #Hello For Try Stampin' On Tuesday

Hello Stamping Friends,

It's been a very busy February for me, as you can tell.  I hope it's been a good one for all of you.  I think the winter weather has provided some of us stampers ample time in our craft rooms, but I think I'm just about ready for springtime.  How 'bout you?  :-)

For my card today I used the inspiration sketch provided by Sarah C. over at Try Stampin' On Tuesday.  I struggled at first with all of the possibilities this sketch provided, but then I stayed true to my quick and easy aesthetic.  

The #Hello stamp set saved the day as my focal image and the Flashback designer paper completed my shabby look.  I like how it came out.  There is nothing like coordinated dsp, is there?  #makesmylifesosimple.

I hope you enjoy today's card and get some creative time this week.  Why don't you hop over to the Try Stampin' blog and enter your creation using this sketch as well!  

Happy Stamping,

barb

Groovy Kind Of Love

Hello Stampin' Friends!

Just a short post for you today to show you my latest sketch challenge design for the Try Stampin' On Tuesday challenge blog.   It's a fun sketch that lends itself to Valentine's Day, but you know that you can always try a different shape or focal image instead of a heart.  I hope lots of you will go over to TSOT and submit a card design for this sketch.  It's lots of fun to play along and it's great for design practice.  ;)

My card today is pretty quick and easy.  I used the new designer paper stack from the Occasions catty called Stacked With Love.  There are so many cool patterns in this stack...just love it.  

I also used the Hearts Framelits, and I must say, they make my heart flutter just a little bit.  They are so much fun to use.  

This card is especially for my husband for Valentine's Day this year, so I wanted the design to be extra clean and simple.  

I hope you enjoy it and try the sketch too!

Happy Valentine's Week!
