Clean & Simple

I made today's card using Clean and Simple Card Sketch FTL #56.  As you can see I didn't exactly stick to the original sketch. Here's the sketch: But I did keep it clean and simple.  I am beginning to love this type of card because they are so easy and quick to make.  For the flower and scrolls, I used the Lovely Flower Rub-on's from the Lovely Flowers Bundle, Hostess Level… Read More »

I stamped Happy Birthday (using the stamp-a-ma-jig, of course) on Sahara Sand… Read More »
