H2H Challenge -- My first!

I'm trying to motivate myself to make more cards and partly why I am enjoying these card sketch challenges. I'm all about scrapbooking layouts and don't spend as much time dedicated to cards. I never thought I would want to make cards when I started scrapbooking (and it TORE me up to "waste" good embellishments on a card that wouldn't last like a scrapbook page) ... but I'm moving past that now and also remind myself, it's a great way to get further use out of my growing stash of paper. ... as my Dad would say, I've got a load of paper that a showdog couldn't jump!

My version.....

    Mandy, glad you could join us at H2H! I am hoarding this paper, so it's nice to see you use it for this card! Many scrapbookers struggle with cards at the beginning, but I think you'll find that making cards is a good way to use up all the scraps leftover from scrapbooking!

    That's one of my all time favourite paper packs, too! Cute take on this week's sketch. Thanks for playing with us at H2H Mandy :o)

    I really like the casual flair that the paper cliped sentiment brings.

    This is a great card. I really like it. I am wondering if I have all those stamp sets. I will have to see. I think I might make this card to give to my daughter one day when she is feeling a little low. Thanks so much for sharing.

    Great card!! I love the little touches that you added like the paper clip and hearts. If I received this card, I would keep it forever, just like a scrapbook page. *Ü*
