Hi everybody. Here's a super simple 10 minute card for you that you can make with just a few die-cuts, quick stamping, and some coloring. It's one of those instant gratification cards where you get to play with a lot of toys in a short period of time. I love the bright and fun colors and it's the perfect card for anybody of any age. You can change any element on this card for a completely different look by using the same sketch. Changing the colors and designer paper can take this card into many directions. Not only that, it doesn't have to be a birthday card. You can change the designer paper and the main image to create a plethora of cards. This sketch is very good for easy mass production too.
I'm sure we'll be suffering from pure exhaustion and jet lag today. Tomorrow I have to stand in line for hours to the kids into an exclusive charter school with their transcripts in hand, so please pray for their acceptance. I'm still not sure what I'm going to do with Bailey as she's only going into the 8th grade and the charter school is 9-12 only.
As always, I'm coveting your prayers and thank you for stopping by to visit me today. God bless you! Today's Treasure: Acts 10-11. It may take you a few minutes to read this, but there's nothing more precious than daily time spent with the Lord.
