FTL190 and LNS Paper Glorious Paper Challenges Three Little Words

Hello, Friends! 

This is my belated Mother's Day card.  Last week was crazy and I didn't have time to stamp. My Mom will actually see this card in her inbox before she sees it in her mailbox.  So...

Happy Mother's Day, Mom!

Frank and I love you very much! 

Today's sketch comes from Clean and Simple Stamping.  Our Late Night Stampers Challenge this week is to feature Designer Series Paper.  My colors came from that challenge, creating my card around Stampin' Up's "Cheerful Treat" Designer Series Paper.  The stamps are from two more retiring sets, "Greenhouse Garden" and "Three Little Words."  The stamps and paper are only available through the end of May. 

Happy Stamping!

Happy Monday! That means it's time for another one of Mary Jo's great Monday Lunchtime Sketch Challenges. You can check them out here. I got my inspiration for the colors of my card from Stampin' Royalty's Challenge #54. You can check out their blog here.

This was my first version of the card. It matches the sketch but I still thought mine looked a little plain.

So, here's my second version. I added ribbon along the green cardstock, although it's hard to see because the circles are close together. However, the big bow on the top is quite obvious! :) It just made the card a little more fancy.

The original sentiment with the mug says, "Love you a latte!" However, what I really needed was a "thank you" card. So, I used "thanks" from one set and added it to "a latte!" Look for ways to see and use your "old" stamps in a new way!
