A bit of yellow somewhere...POTD 3.18.07
Every once in a while I feel the need to get out my scrapbook supplies to get a little crafty. I love creating layouts, however most recently, I have tried my hand at some card making. These are just some real simple Thank You notes, but I like the way they turned out. Funny, but the blue against the brown is my new favorite color combination and it was discovered by just setting the cards somewhere to take a photo. Note the little hint of yellow, my favorite color. **Here's what I did** I have a double square punch with 2 sizes. I punched out the smaller shape and then, used my exacto knife to trace out the square because the punch would not go in that far (figures) Then...I took some white cardstock, )I used bazill, but I would not recomend it because it's texturized and my punch didn't do clean lines) and punched out the smaller square, then over it, the larger square to give that hollowed out square. I glued that over the hole and it made my little frame. I used Pima flowers and Making memories brads and glued the little flower inside. I used a stamp and embossing powder for the words. Hope that helps someone out.

Very creative! I LOVE the blue & brown color combination and I'm seeing it everywhere! In fact, we're redecorating our bedroom using those colors.
Love the font. I'm a sucker for anything from American Crafts just because all the "clean" fonts they sell. I LOVE them. Are those stickers? rub-ons? printed on cardstock? Gotta share girl!
BTW I love the blue/brown, pink/brown, green/brown or any type of "cool" looking combination.
TFS!
yes, your color combination is great here! i have been trying to figure out which room in my house i could use this on. your cards are super cute! someone will sure appreciate getting these!
Heather the cards simple and classy. Very nice.
I love cards! Homemade are even better!
Very nice simple cards. I need to dive into my scrap stash and get some scrapping done...and maybe tackle a few cards. Thanks for the inspiration. I like your color combo here too. I'm not a blue person but I do like it paired with brown. Represents the ground and the sky to me.
So creative. I love your photography. You have beautiful creative shots. Love them a ton!
I love your simple, clean handmade cards. I have a notebook where I save handmade cards that I receive. When I get in a creative mood, I like to get my supplies out and see what I can create. I may have to get my Prima's out!
