 While shopping the Simon Says Stamp Store, I ran across a couple of cards that inspired me to use the Tim Holtz Field Notes Snippets Ephemera

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge - Easter/Spring

 So unfortunate that Skipping Stones Design went out of business...they had some fun stamp sets!

 

Travel

 This week's theme at Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge , Let's Go On Vacation, was great motivation to create this travel themed thank you card. Our travel agent over the past several years has recently retired and we wanted to send her a thank you/gift card for all of her hard work, she made travel stress free.

I did some paper piecing with a couple of papers from 7 gypsies variety pack 'Lille' as well as some tags from some older stash. I then created the clasp closure using a 1/2" punch and a couple of eyelets and some twine.

The inside was created using the Stampendous Carte Postale stamp along with a cursive Thank You stamp.

 

The back of the card was a last minute addition using a retired Stampin'Up set Sentimental Journey.

Thanks for looking!

Beautiful Birthday Butterfly

 

 

For my niece...as I was naming this post, it brought back a memory of when my niece was two years old and for her birthday she wanted a 'bootiful, bootiful, blue dress'.  She's going to be 31 years old next week and had I thought of it earlier, I would have put some blue in this card for her and reminded her of the 'bootiful, bootiful, blue dress'.

This week at Simon Says Stamp the Monday Challenge is to use Embossing Folders, I really like this 3-D folder from Tim Holtz and Sizzix.

Christmas ATC's

This week's challenge at Simon Says Stamp: Monday Challenge is to make 'ATC's' or Artist Trading Cards, miniature pieces of art at 2 1/2 x 3 1/2. 

I loved all the inspiration from the Simon Says Stamp team, especially the Tim Holtz Christmas Paper Dolls, but alas, I only had the regular Tim Holtz Paper Dolls...none looked wintry enough!

Sympathy Bloom

 

This is my second card for the challenge at Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge-Beautiful Blooms

My sister-in-law recently lost her father, so I made a card for her and also for her mother. 

 

Spanish Sympathy

 

My sister-in-law is from Columbia, and her mother is very sweet and does not speak English. She recently lost her husband of 69 years, and my husband and I wanted to send her a special card. I speak very little Spanish, and have only one stamp set in Spanish for party invitations, so I looked up translator and printed a sentiment from my computer, 'With our deepest sympathy'. I would normally create a sympathy card with a butterfly or dragonfly, but wasn't sure if either was appropriate for someone from Columbia. I was excited to see the challenge from Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge this week is for 'Beautiful Blooms'.
