Simply Saturday…Sunny Days…
Today is Saturday and I always love using a simple design at least once a week. There is a beauty in simplicity at times and as hectic a week as I’ve had…I’d love a little more in my life. For my computer update…my hard drive needed wiped. 
sniff, sniff … lost all kinds of important things.. especially e-mails. So….if you’ve e-mailed over the past few weeks while I’ve been having all these woes and haven’t heard back…PLEASE e-mail me again as they are all lost forever. I think I need some sunny days.
Sunny Days
I made this quick one layer card design with one of the brand new Cornish Heritage Farms backgrounders. Love these stamps and this is one of my faves. The office/lined paper look is so hot right now! I can think of so many ways to use this stamp. I also combined this design with a challenge on the CHF forums today. Have you ever been over there? So much fun stuff to check out and today…a party and release to celebrate. Cool challenges and prizes…you could win one of their cool new backgrounders for yourself. The challenge I took up with this design was masking. Keeping it simple..I stamped the sentiment, masked it and then stamped my Lined Paper backgrounder stamp. I added some quick flowers with the Stems Silhouettes 1 stamp set, stamped in Cool Caribbean and Purely Pomegranate.
For a could quick embellishments… a Maya Road velvet flower set with a pewter eyelet and my Crop-a-dile. To repeat the velvet theme, I tied a scrap of blue May Arts Velvet ribbon through a little Pewter Press Buckle from the We R Memory Keepers Hardware set.
Wishing you a simply wonderful Saturday and lots of sunny days ahead. 
Love this, the new bg is too cool, pretty colors in the stamping!
