The Easy Button

Mornin' y'all!  I have to type fast...it's the last day of Ryan's film camp and they're having their movie premiere this morning so I am going to go watch that.  But first, I have a very quick card:


I used this week's Freshly Made Sketch:


And really it feels like I cheated, because when I saw the sketch I thought of the oval elements in the Lovely Blossoms DSP that Joanne made me get.  So all I did was snip out the central image; the horizontal strip was already a scrap, I just cut it to fit the card front, and one simple stamped greeting on a punched circle and a few dots finished it off.  I mean the whole thing probably took less than ten minutes so I decided to have a go at a similar sketch and made this card:


We have another large oval on the Sunday Stamps sketch, and since this DSP image isn't quite as oval as the first one, I floated it on a Crumb Cake oval and then put that on the fun stripes that's the opposite side of the DSP from the big images I used today.  Same greeting, but this time die cut with another oval.  Here's the sketch:


Another super fast card and now I have cards to mail out next week to my two friends.  I like to pick cards that kind of coordinate to send to these two ladies because they are also friends so just in case they compare what they get ; )


Ack!  Gotta run.  Cheers!

Beautiful cards, Christy! I love when the pretty paper does the bulk of the work.
