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.....

  1. 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!

  5. 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.

  7. 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*
