Back from vacation and a card

Well, we've been home from our little Florida vacation for a couple of days and I am having a horrible time getting back into the swing of things. It's crazy but I feel the seasons changing far too fast. It's 5:44PM EST and the sun has set ... in another hour it'll be dark. Winter is coming ya'll. I can't stand it!

Here's a card I did as thank you notes for gifts Kammie received for her birthday in Florida. It's a sketch from Mojo Monday and it's titled MOJO101. This card is CASEd heavily from the incredibly talented Mary Fish and her terrific blog Stampin' Pretty.

Details of the card:
Cardstock: Ruby Red, Sahara Sand, Whisper White
DSP: Retired Sweet Slumber Specialty
Stamps: Circle Circus, Retired Note of Thanks
Ink: Ruby Red
Punch: Scallop Circle
Embellies: Unknown Mfg. Clear Gemstones
Techniques: Paper Piercing

Flower wreath thank you card

Thursday David asked me to create a card for the retiring executive assistant of the college. I created a more basic version of this card and liked the idea so much I had to revisit it. It's probably not a new technique to anyone but me -- I drew a circle on the Whisper White cardstock and then stamped the images around it. I really like this look, I'll be looking for more stamps of this type in the future to keep refining the look.

As you probably can tell from the last few posts I bought me some patterned paper during the big buy 3 get 1 free sale. I am loving all these great papers. For this card I used a bit of the Tea Party Designer Series Paper. I am anxiously awaiting the new catalog and the new designer series paper choices!

Duh, I also forgot to mention that the sketch for this card is a design from Monday Mojo . A great place to get a little inspiration!

The details:

Cardstock: Certainly Celery and Almost Amethyst

Patterned Paper: Tea Party Designer Series Paper

Stamp: Pocket Silhouettes

Rubon: Memory Makers

Ink: Certainly Celery and Almost Amethyst

Accessories: White Dots Colorbok

Thanks for looking and yes HE stamps!
