Simple Saturday…a quick card
I made this card a couple weeks ago. No stamping…just a simpler, more scrapbook style card. Looks much better in person and I love the layout. I loved how the sentiment lined up perfectly over the boxes and that nice clean open space of Caribbean. I was once again cleaning my desk (LOL) and got distracted by all these lovely little bits on my desk. I’ve decided to keep Saturdays simple on my blog, especially for the summer months. So many things to do with a large family! Also, intricate cards are gorgeous, but I’m appreciating a fresh clean look these days too. Simplicity can be beautiful!
Believe Card
This card originally started out with the two little punched squares. I had made a little book with punched openings and they were sitting as scrap on my desk. They were so cute, I had a hard time throwing them out. Tres Jolie is MUCH too pretty for the wastebasket, no matter how small the size! 
I also had this darling metal sentiment on my desk…a purchase from the dollar store. There were about 5 different sentiments in the package and they are very fun to use. I adhered my sentiment with glue dots and added a little rhinestone to the top of the “i”.I think this would make a great encouragement card or even for someone starting a new phase in their life… Believe…in your self.

Super cute Julia! Your cards are always gorgeous…whether they’re simple like this one or intricate like some of your others. My own personal style has evolved so much just by studying your work. Thank you!

This is darling Julia! I really like the layout!! Great job!
This is so simple and yet so wonderful all at the same time! Less is more on this one, wonderful job!!
Simply gorgeous!
I think this card is just beautiful! Love the colors and the design.
This is wonderful! Neat how you’ve incorporated scraps from other projects, a sort of self-imposed “limited supply challenge”. Gorgeous card! Speaking of gorgeous cards, I saw your spectacular card in the Paper Crafts Stamp It magazine that I bought recently. It’s just beautiful! Congratulations on publication! I think any of your cards would be great in a magazine.
I am all about simplicity. And I agree MME Tres Jolie is way to pretty to waste. This is so pretty, I am going to case it!
Cute, fun card.
What a fun card.
Very cute, J! Simple is good!!
Very cute, J! Love the bling for the “i” !!
