Start Simple !

When I lose my mojo, I like to start simple.  Don't try a comlicated and over the top project ~ start with something you can build on.  That is my tip of the millenium ... hehehe.  So, here is my card using the latest Clean and Simple Sketch.

Though I did move my flower more to the side ~ I wanted a sentiment on it ~ I liked the square card idea.  I used the Island Oasis DSP (#117173) from the Summer Mini with tempting turquoise and white CS.  The flower was made using my tutorial here, and I used the ribbon ends as my greenery.  I pierced under the ribbon and added my sentiment in old olive.  This is a super simple card, but the DSP takes it to over-the-top-fabulous!!  Even with the making of the flower, this card took me no more than 10 minutes to complete.  I feel good, because I have stamped, and feel like I can keep going.  Why don't you try out my tip and link below ?!?  Tootles, have fun and happy stamping!!

I love simple to get me started again. But, I usually revert to my Cricut.

Thanks Julie - today YOU were my inspiration! Not that it is a huge surprise as you are quite often, but as soon as I saw your post today I had the idea for this card.

Hi Julie, love your blog - just my style. I was wondering what DS paper you used for your blog banner? I looked all over SU downloads and couldn't find it. Thanks for any info.
