While I love complex cards, I also love simple designs. They are perfect for those times you want to create but don’t have a lot of time. Anyone as busy as I? Right now I’ve two sick kids and I’m sure we’re not done yet.

I always love your vintage designs, but these are both wonderful. I never like my simple cards, but these are great.
Hi Julia -
These cards may be simple in design, but visually they pack a punch! Outstanding!!

I love simple designs but are not so easy for me! These are both adorable.
Very cool!!! Love them both!
sorry to hear you have some sick young ones, hopefully you can stay well…like your idea of stitching or drawing in a frame around a sentiment!!
LOVE your simple cards. They are adorable – who wouldn’t love to receive one as nice as these are?
Sorry to hear your children are ill. Hope they get better soon and mom and dad don’t get it……
Hugs, Candy
Julia,
I so loved the first sample today that it inspired me to try for myself. Hopefully, it’s viewable at Splitcoast:

The ‘Once in a While’ card is the perfect pairing of sentiment with other design elements. The simplicity of the design and, in particular, the use of kraft paper allow the message to stand out resulting in a card that is anything but ordinary. Thank you for sharing.
Wow, wow, wow! Love these simple cards, Julia.
Sorry to hear the kiddos are sick.
