Hello Foursquare…

This morning I thought I’d share a fun card design that I created last week. This week has been so crazy I haven’t been able to sit down for more than a couple minutes at the computer and havne’t made it NEAR the stamping desk! Today my kitchen cupboards are getting pulled out and let me tell you…I just cannot wait until this is all over. We’ve been up at six and working till almost midnight each night and it seems despite my best efforts, the dust and dirt get worse each day. 🙁 In the end, it is all going to be worth it though and I’m just keeping the end in sight. Anyone have some ideas for a kitchen paint color? This one has scratching my head. I usually know what I want! Tile is tan, kind of a natural finish, cupboards will be dark brown stained cherry and the counted a speckled black and tan granite look.

Ladybird Hello

This card just kind of came together. I’d been wanting to play somemore with my EK Success Curvy Cutter Circle template. This kind of a circle cut out of a circle layout has been in my head for a while. I actually had a few of these brown circles cut out and laid them on top to see how it would look. I was shocked to find they were the exact right size to layer on top. Now how often do things like that happend?! 🙂

For this design I used my new Kim Hughes’ Foursquare stamp set from Cornish Heritage Farms. The star stamped natural layer, as well as the ladybug is elevated on foam adhesive. The little star is foam from an American Crafts baby embellishment set and I just colored it in with my Copic marker to make it the shade I wanted. 🙂

{Have a great day!}
