Simply Saturday…
It’s Saturday! Time to keep it simple. I’m not creating today as I’m busy getting ready for a little birthday party. My baby is turning four! Where does the time go?
Go For It
So this is another one of my clean up the scraps cards. I told you I’d made a lot of cards with the green and torquoise October Afternoon paper. I think this is number 4 that I’ve uploaded and yes, there are still more to come. In case you’re just tuning in…I was having so much fun with this paper than I couldn’t throw out an inch of it. It’s the second paper on the card from the right side of the photo. I added one tiny stamped sentiment from the Mona Lisa Moments Encouragement Expressions set.

Now my other card I actually created a couple weeks ago for a Splitcoast Clean and Simple Challenge. I made it but never uploaded it. How lame is that?! Anyhow…it did get me stamping and I had wanted to try out this medallion image rock and rolled since I was designing the Ornamental Beauty set. I think it gives it a fun look.

What a great way to use up scraps! I’ve got to do this! Love the rock and roll on the Ornamental Beauty! Very nice!
Gorgeous, Julia. Love the little details that make them so special - the tiny scraps, the staples, the little extra rhinestone - great inspiration!
Great cards Julia! Love the rock’n roll medallion card… simple, but beautiful!
I love both of them!! But the medallion is WOW!!
Happy 4th to your “baby” girl!! My baby will be 4 next month! Yikes!
These are gorgeous cards Julia!! Happy birthday to your little one! I hope the party is lots of fun!
What a lovely way to use up scraps! The stitched frame adds a wonderful touch, and really elevates this card to the next level. Signature Julia!
Where does the time go, indeed. My baby just turned 3, 4 is going to be tough!
What a clever card……luscious and vibrant spring colours.
Happy birthday to the wee one.
These are both great, J! I would never think to stitch a rectangle like that (on the first card). I love it!
Happy 4th birthday to your little one!
I love the made from scraps card. The sewing adds a great touch. I’m definitely trying that one out. Thanks for the inspiration!
Wow, that R&R Medallion is stunning! The colors are perfect with that image. Love it!!
I love the use of scraps! I’ve been wanting to try my hand at sewing on a card - this is just the inspiration I needed - use my scraps AND sew. Love it!
