Simple Cards

Way back in June

(This summer is SO busy-and flying by! I'm sorry for the lack of posts!)

I lead a group of teens at our local library in making cards!

The teen room had some supplies and a lot of paper to use up,

and I was happy to help them out with all of their too-much-paper-troubles.

 What I loved about this batch is not only that they happened-

time really is sparse, by that I mean time I want to do something other than nap.

No. I love how simple they all are.

These days I have all sorts of fun add-ons and my cards turn out busy.

Not that that's a bad thing,

it just is, and I didn't realize it until I was working on these. 

I brought stamps, ink and punches to craft with.

Things that are useful but couldn't really be ruined or used up if a ton of kids showed up.

With no ribbon and only one or two buttons I was challenged to come up with different fun ideas.

With that challenge I rediscover how awesome stamps can be.

And have you met busy paper?!

It's simply lovely!

Also color was a big theme.

Color in the right places-and the strategic lack of it in other places.

I hope you enjoy this simple offering as much as I enjoyed making them!

It's a MOOSE!!
