One Sheet of Designer Paper

These are three more cards I made with this EK success paper. Emily posted a challenge to use up an entire sheet of decorative paper, so I figured I'd give it a whirl. Let me just say, it's not as easy as it seems. Perhaps it's because there aren't many colors in this particular sheet, but I've made 4 cards and I'm stumped! I still have almost half a sheet left, too!

The first 2 cards are standard 5.5 x 4.25 cards, and the third is a simple 4.25" square. Martha Stewart ribbon. All stamped images are from www.papertreyink.com.

First Card Upload

Here is my first card upload for my new blog! My hubby wanted a card for his mom for Mother's Day, and this is what I whipped up. I used the Green Thumb set from www.papertreyink.com, stamped using the yummy Versamagic chalk inks. The card was inspired by the EK success paper I found the other day, and I also used some of the new Martha Stewart ribbon from Michael's. Cardstock is SU! Very Vanilla and Chocolate Chip, and the hardware is from SU! as well.

jumpin' off a cliff. . .

is what this feels like. I've toyed with the idea of actually creating my own blog, instead of simply spending hours surfing and lurking in the lives of others via their blogs. But what if I don't have anything interesting to say? What if noone ever sees my blog? What if those who stumble on it think I'm a total idiot? Well, I've decided to take the plunge, and if I come off looking silly, I guess it was just meant to be.

So, what do I hope to accomplish here? Nothing really. I'll probably post photos of my stamping creations from time to time, wax poetic on occasion, and generally use this forum as an outlet for the chaotic ramblings I'm prone to.

I've jumped off the proverbial cliff. . .let's hope I have a soft landing!
