On Opposite Ends of the Spectrum...

are these two cards!! I tell you, these two card were made one after another, probably within about 45 minutes! I don't think I have ever made two such totally different cards that close together!!

Here they are:


I love this little frog sticker and that sentiment says "you're toadally amazing". It's from All That Scraps - love that store! Here's what this card is for:

The next card is so feminine!



See what I mean?? I can't believe they both came from my brain in less than an hour! I didn't think I could switch gears that fast! LOL Anyway - this card is for the following:

  • 365 - Today they asked for a Handwritten Sentiment
  • Color Throwdown asked for - turquoise, black and yellow (Tempting Turquoise, So Saffron and Basic Black) but I play with what I have - and they like it! They want you to play and if you don't have the SU colors - that's okay! Just play!
  • Paper Blooms - which is how this card got it's feminity I suppose you could say, asked for ribbom, lace or trim to be the focal point. I am thinking that mission was definitely accomplished!

And that's what I have for you for now....don't forget the blog candy in THIS POST!
