Delighted by You


An eclectic pocket card for Scrappin Studio today. My love for stationery supplies show through on this project. I'm continuing to explore the greens and beiges in the kit - adding a healthy dose of  yellow to the mix.

This went out to Donna

One way of stretching my kit is to utilise packaging materials. The Studio Calico stamp package has a deep chocolate header that complemented the rest of my card. Turned upside down, it worked nicely to anchor my collage.


I'm really quite pleased with it. However, not having a central focus and a very small (easily overlooked) sentiment, this type of card is not everyone's cup of tea. What's your preference : a quirky card or something more traditional ?

Sandy, as someone who rarely puts a title on my layouts, I am not opposed to leaving the "center focus" item off a project. As long as the project is visually appealing and the eye moves around it, I am happy with it.
I love your little card - the butterflies are wonderful!

Love this card! Quirky -- traditional -- depends on the person. I have friends that are definitely quirky and others that are definitely traditional. It's the quirky that makes me smile! I would love it if you would consider linking to Busy Monday at A Pinch of Joy, a Sunday through Thursday link party for ideas that make life easier, better and more fun!
