So happy and bright...

Kids are napping and my legs are not working so I decided what a good time to sit at my computer and post on my blog.  I ran 16 miles today with my friend/running buddy. We are dragging ourselves through the 26.2 miles of the Portland Marathon. Crazy, yes!

I saw this card while visiting one of my favorite blogs, Dawn's Stamping Studio.  There is a flap on the inside where you can put a gift card.  Clever, eh? I should have taken a picture, but didn't.  I do plan to make some more using another stamp set so I will make a mental note to do so.  Coastal Cabana and Strawberry Slush are two of the new In-Colors this year and they are beautiful...so happy and bright.  The Ruffle Stretch Trim is very pretty. I might need to buy it in other colors, too!

I saw this card in the Stampin' Success magazine that comes to us demonstrators with all sorts of ideas and techniques.  I recreated it, but tried to make it my own. I also used the new Envelope Liners to add DSP the inside of the envelope, but you can't see it very well.
