The Best Things

Hey, kids!  How's it going?  We've got the hubs' parents here this week but I did manage to sneak down to my craft room yesterday and make a quick card or two.


Feel Goods is on the retiring list, and I do love the sentiments in that set although now that I see it in this picture it looks like maybe my sentiment tilts ever so slightly up to the right?  Oh well.  I look at the world in a slightly askew fashion anyway.

I got the colors from this week's Global Design Project challenge:



My first instinct was to go with something marine, like By the Tide, but in the end I decided that Feel Goods needed some inky love before it retires on June 1.

I also used the latest Fab Friday sketch:


Fun times.  I'd better get off the computer and attend to my hostess duties...cheers, y'all!

  2. I like that sentiment, too.

    Went to buy a BD card last night at Wally's and saw one I liked -- but the price on it was $8. YIKES!!! YOURS are much prettier anyway. Oh, and I did NOT buy that card. Ha!

  4. Superstar, I am always impressed when people can create a card well using 2 challenges when I struggle with the limitations of one challenge. Thank you for playing along at Global Design Project.
