Can't Thank You Enough

Where does the time go when you are having fun?  I sat down to make a card and suddenly it is after 2 a.m.  Something tells me I really need to set an alarm when I start crafting given this is not the first time this has happened.  It used to be reading all night long, now it's card designs that keep me awake at night.  Good thing I'm retired, right?

Today I've combined the colors from The Paper Players Challenge with the sketch from Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge.  I kept it a very clean and simple design as I do with most of the cards I need to put in the mail.  I love the 2013-2015 In Colors and I'm going to be very sad to see them retire in just a few short weeks.


Stamp Sets:  Lovely Amazing You (sentiment), Petal Potpourri (flower); Inks:  Coastal Cabana, Tuxedo Black Memento; Card Stock:  All Abloom Designer Series Paper Stack, Coastal Cabana, Whisper White; Accessories & Tools:  Flower Medallion Punch, Large Pearl, Dimensionals, SNAIL Adhesive, Glue Dots, Stampin' Trimmer

The colors I used are from the current Paper Players Challenge.

  1. Great layout Marsha, and I love the font of the sentiment. I keep forgetting I have that stamp set and haven't inked it up once yet, so thanks for the reminder and inspiration! Thanks for sharing with us at The Paper Players!

  2. It is a great layout Marsha - I love how you kept your flower simple and used all the pattern in you DSP across the background. Super sentiment too - I so wish us UK demos could get that set too! Thanks for joining in with my colour challenge over at The Paper Players this week!

    1. Thanks, Shannon! I love the stamp set and punch. And, the flower in the Crazy about You stamp set works with the punch! Yes, I know, I'm an enabler! :-)
