Stampin! with Jaydee

Hi Everyone. Happy Tuesday. Very quick post for you tonight. I wanted to share with you a card I made for a challenge site that is new to me - sketch saturday. I love the sketch and was very eager to see what I could do with it. In the end, I decided to go with a masculine themed card. Something I always seem to struggle with. Also, because this is one of the cards that will go into my next charity card drive, I wanted to make it flexible. To do that, I left it without a sentiment. Making... Read more →

Hi Everyone. Happy Friday. YES! It's Friday. Finally! Quick post for you tonight. Here's another friend card. I promise you it's the last one for a while. But, don't we all have friends that we really should celebrate more often? Addicted to CAS is still having their friend challenge, so I thought I would play along again. I used the Sunshine and Sprinkles DSP -again! This time I paired it with another fabulous sentiment from the MFT Umbrella stamp set and reused a sketch from my card on Thursday. Isn't that sentiment just perfect with the DSP? I also love... Read more →
