threes (as in takes on our card and prompt of JYC)

In years past my friends and I have gotten together for a fun night of card making, complete with delicious treats and tasty beverages (mmmm, hot chocolate with peppermint schnapps...). Sadly, this year that just didn't work out with everyone's schedules. Hopefully next year.

I finally had a minute to sit down and construct a design.  After a few attempts, this third take is the winner. At first I was going to do a digital hybrid card using a picture, but I couldn't find one that I liked enough (*note to self:be sure to snap a shot that can be used next year). When that idea didn't pan out I began looking for stamps and found an adorable tree set from Stampin' Up which I was planning on using. That is until I sat down to make them and discovered it would take way too long.

I just don't have the time this year.

So instead, I thought for a minute about what I could do quickly, would convey a seasonal message and still look pretty.

This is what I came up with.

It's simple.

But I like it.

 mmb likes it.

It's a go.
(and yes, that tiny strip of words is the p&p paper I raved about here)

Here's the inside. Before I adhered the paper to the front I just wrote up the sentiment in a word document and then fed the cut card through the top sheet feeder of the printer.

Voila!

Now I just need to repeat this 64 times.

On a similar note, our prompt from Shimelle was to journal about our cards.

Here's my page for Day 3. 

Being laid up with this stomach bug is not fun, but it has afforded me the opportunity to peruse through lots of people's blogs, and I must say, I have "met" some amazingly creative people.

I am so inspired.

There is some serious talent out there in the blogosphere.

Have a nice weekend!
