Sorry for being absent for awhile there... I'll give you an update later. But right now I just need to get these One Layer Wednesday cards posted before the next challenge is introduced tomorrow. The first card here is for OLW62, to make a thank you card for a specific person — and mail it.
SHOW
I think I may have cheated a bit here — or at least strayed from Susan's intention. I can't seem to make thank you notes for my bride-to-be daughter fast enough these days, so this little stack (just seven cards because I only had seven envelopes left!) will be going to her. She is a great girl, though, so I'll just say here... thanks for being such a wonderful daughter, Britt — always a voice of reason saying just exactly what I need to hear. :) (And, what a beautiful bride you'll be in just eleven days!)
AND TELL: stamp is from Stampin' Up (Gently Falling); paper is from a stationery store that was going out of business; ink is SU (Late November Spectrum stamp pad).
Now since I'm still trying to catch up from challenges of past weeks, here is the card I made for OLW52 — to use circles on your card.
SHOW
Not much to say about this one. Just a very simple, graphic card.
AND TELL: stamps are from Stampin' Up (Great Shapes, Little Pieces, Enjoy Every Moment); cardstock is Papertrey Ink (Rustic White); ink is SU (Sahara Sand, Pumpkin Pie, Regal Rose, Tempting Turquoise, Old Olive, Daffodil Delight, Tangerine Tango, Melon Mambo, Pacific Point, Real Red).
That is going to have to be it for today. I promise I'll catch you up on our lives as soon as I can. Things are definitely busy right now. I have plenty to post... just not a lot of time to write and edit. Hope you understand.
Thanks so much for hanging in there with me and stopping by for a little visit. Hearing from you makes my day! I still have some stamp club cards to share, plus lots of wedding related stuff — so, I hope to be back soon. Have a great evening!
love the cards....always anxious to hear what is going on...Britt will be a beautiful bride....

This is such a special time even if it is busy, so enjoy it! We'll all be looking forward to hearing all about it later. Both your thank you card designs are just beautiful Janelle.

I love the image on the first card - it's so perfect with a Spectrum ink pad! Love the fun colours and images on the second.
Only 11 days until the wedding?? Hope it is a wonderful, magical day for all!

LOVE your Gently Falling card! I've got that set and haven't used it in years! Looks like it's going to be a born-again stamp! Thanks for showing us your stuff.
