Going Simple. . .

Hi Everyone! I'm back. I wasn't away long. . .:) Where did I go for the whole week? No where. LOL! Actually, the truth is I needed to take a break from my blogging routine. I have, for a whole year, been blogging practically daily on both blog sites and I now have my club's private blog site to work on.

I guess I was going through a "blog" burn out. I want crafting to be spontaneous and not a routine and it was turning into a routine. So. . .I decided to change things a bit and work on a few projects at home that I have been putting off. Life should be

balanced. Don't you think?

Anyway. . .while I was away. . .during my free time, I created a bunch of "simple cards". I had this old SU stamp set sitting on my desk for no reason but just being there. I was looking through a bunch of scrap designer papers and cardstock and decided to use up a few papers that were in my scrap pile. I have a lot of cut up designer paper just waiting to be used so I decided to create these "quicky" cards.

No embellishments or ribbons! Wow. . .I don't this too often and it's sort of fun to just go the simple route.

I think adding designer paper, a scalloped edge, and shaped images can actually make a card look like it took a lot of work to create but in reality, there's not much to it.

I think I'm going to make more cards using this layout using a bunch of my stamps that have a circle design and use up more of the papers/cardstock in my scrap pile. Maybe I'll do a marathon session just to reduce my pile.

Anyway. . .hope y'all have a wonderful day!
