Hi, everyone!
School started here and it's hard getting back into the routine,
Not to mention getting up at "dark thirty", as my dad use to say ;)
Here's a card I made for a card group I'm in, the SOTC.
Our hostess, April, asked us to make Anniversary cards in honor
of her upcoming anniversary and this was my take!
I have been striving this year to "use every stamp"
and finally inked up my "Loads of Love" stamp set.
I also used two different embossing folders, hearts (finally made it out of the package after 2.5 years! Gasp!) and my fave, Swiss dots!
Pretty simple overall but made with lots of love :)
Thanks for stopping by!
Big hugs, Bigger Blessings!

ReplyDeleteSuper card, Kelly! I think I may need to CASE this as I have the stamp and both embossing folders! ;-)
ReplyDeleteO Dark Thirty is what has often been said by our family when we have to get up at unusually early hours!
I thought I was the only one that knew what "dark thirty" was!!! LOL!
ReplyDeleteYour card is so cute and love that embossing on it. I haven't used that image in like forever and believe it was one of my very first sets from SU. Thanks for the inspiration!

What a great card. I've always liked this set.
ReplyDeleteThis is just perfect - put together so well. Thanks for joining in at Cuttlebug Mania x
ReplyDeleteGreat layout and colors for this truckload of love!! Sweet, sweet card, Kelly!
ReplyDeleteI've had the same goal - to use my stamps..how is your goal going? Mine sort of stalled....But I have been using more and buying less. So that's a good thing. Love the bright colors of your card - and love the little truck! :)
ReplyDeleteWonderful card! I love the texture from the embossing and that sweet truck! I have the hearts folder too and think I've only used it once...
ReplyDeleteWonderful patriotic colors on this! And I too love the routine of going back to school.
