Whenever I set out to do a clean and simple card I am reminded of how important simplifying can be. It seems that "clutter" is something I do well - I clutter my mind, my craft room...okay, not just the craft room, the house too! I can clutter my words and my thoughts, as well as my cards. I like this definition of simple: plain, basic, or uncomplicated in form, nature, or design; without much decoration or ornamentation. I would like to try to bring more simplicity into my life, into my words and into my actions. May today be a simple day for you
The thought for this card came to me during my walk with Buddy. I used a heart punch to punch through some acetate in order to make a heart stencil. I then sponged pixie pink, pretty in pink, and pale plum to make the 3 hearts. I used the stamp-a-ma-jig to align the xoxo stamp from Define Your Life. So simple, and yet so clear in its message. I hope you like it!

Beautifully simple. This one has my New Year's resolution written all over it. Love the acetate stencils, too. Nothing like using our tools for more than one thing. I did this at Christmas with the ornament punch. It's a great technique. Thanks for inspiring . . .

Really cute and very CAS. I looked fast at the title, and thought it said I LOVE CASH! LOL!
