Happy New Year!

Hello Stamping Friends,

     Well, it's been an incredibly busy holiday season over the past couple of months which has kept me from regularly posting here on the Quick and Easy Blog, but this is a new year and I'm back for what I hope will be more frequent posts.  ;) 

The card I'm sharing with you today was posted on the Try Stamping On Tuesday Blog last week, right before Christmas.  The theme was "friend" (I was thinking of every one of my wonderful friends as I made this card) and I think the sketch was meant to be a holiday card, but I guess that slipped right on past me because I used brand new products from the soon-to-be-released Occasions Catalog! 

 It's filled with super fun and pretty paper crafting goodies that you'll want to get your hands on, I promise. 

So, here's my card:

This sketch was a real challenge for me this time and I'm so happy that I pressed on and found the inspiration to create my "friend" card.  I absolutely LOVE the color combo found in the upcoming designer paper, Birthday Bash. 

and the sketch:

 So, I hope you will take a trip over to Try Stamping On Tuesday and play along with the wonderful designers and sketches that are coming in 2015!  

Happy Stamping and Happy New Year!

She Believed...

 Two cards in one night, you ask?  Yes!  The physical inspiration for this card comes from this sketch at  Create With Connie And Mary.  The emotional inspiration has come from two of my good friends, Ellen and Glynis.  (Check out their inspirational and artistic blogs) They have believed in me in so many ways, for so many years; starting this blog and creating my own cards was just two of them.  So, this card is for them.  Thank you for believing I could do this.  

You even made a believer out of me.  

Love you both!
