What Once Was A Coloring Book....

I am SO about this coloring book thing. I LOVE to color.  And coloring in a book to leave in a book was just never an option for me, ever.  So I've selected coloring books only printed on one side, so I could make cards with them.  I'm happy to say this is my first one!

I love the colors too, the way they POP!

National Scrapbooking Month Celebration!!

Hi everyone!  I was thinking today about how even though I LOVE National Scrapbooking Month because everything that you use for scrapbooking, I use for cardmaking, that I'm not a big scrapper.  So then I thought, why not use NSM to create cards with no stamping?

I mean I LOVE stamping. I've been doing it nearly my whole life.  But occasionally I do make die-only cards, so that's a goal for me this month.

Since May is BUSY for me, instead of trying to post every day, I was going to post a No Stamping card every Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday.  That didn't even remotely happen.  So I'll see what I can do with the last week of the month!  Today's card is a love card I made that works for Valentine's Day, Sweetest Day or a wedding/anniversary.

A few challenges to kick the month off right:

• Inspiration Destination - #86 Anything Goes
• DLArt Linky Party
• Not Just Cards - #31 Anything Goes
• 2 Creative Chicks Showcase #10 
• Eclectic Ellapu - Anything Goes

A Lady of Class

Doesn't this girl look like she's of very high station?  Later than Downton Abbey obviously, but definitely aristocratic.  I love it.  Plus I think the golden color gives the card a real vintage feel.
