Thank You Card

My triplet cousins just graduated from the 8th grade and recieved quite a few graduation gifts.  My aunt asked me to make thank you cards for them to send out.  I absolutely love the Elegant Notes card.  It makes it so easy to decorate the card when the front is already taken care of.  I used Island Oasis DSP behind the cut-out.  My ribbon is Old Olive as is part of the tag.  I also used Very Vanilla for the underside of the card to hide the DSP and for part of the tag.  The ink I used was Rose Red.  I hope you like it!

For You-Tropical Theme

So, everyone I show this card to thinks it's really plain and in need of something else, but I have no idea what.  I CASED the color combo from Jenni Ingerick.  I changed up stamps, embellishments, and the sentiment. I'm so glad I invested in the Boho Blossoms Punch.  It adds such a nice touch. I hope you like it : ))

Tropical Party For You

This card I CASED from here.  I love Stacey's cards and this, in particular, jumped out at me with her color combos.  Instead of using Bermuda Bay, I used Tempting Turquoise.  The paper is Island Oasis DSP, Razzleberry Lemonade DSP, and Soft Suede DSP.  The ink is Tempting Turquoise and Soft Suede.  The stamp set is Tropical Party from the Summer Mini and the sentiment is from All Holidays.  I hope you like it.

Island Oasis Scrap Pages

Last month I had a class for beginning scrapbooking (not really my thing, but I gave it a go anyways).  I had these pics of the little girls printed for some time and I have been wanting to use them.  When I first recieved my Island Oasis DSP I thought the colors went perfect with the pics, so my scrap tutorial was something I could end up keeping.  I haven't gotten around to journaling yet, but I will soon so I can add some more pages with my soon-to-be-retiring stamp set and paper : ((
Hope you enjoy!

Best Friends

This card was inspired by my best friend, Naomi.  I felt like a bad friend today because I was unable to come through for her on something that she needed me for, and I wanted to make her a card to tell her how sorry I was that I couldn't help her, when she is constantly helping me.  I CASED the idea from here and obviously changed quite a few things.  I love the Garden Whimsy stamp set and I never get to use it.  It came in handy for what I was wanting it to convey. I used the Island Oasis DSP and the associated colors of Tempting Turquoise, Rose Red, Pumpikin Pie, and Old Olive.  I hope you like it.
