You Are Too Kind Mini Card

Good morning friend!  Thank you for stopping by today.  Yesterday I wasn't feeling my craftiest and when that happens I alway find that caseing someones work usually brings it right back.  Now, what's funny is that everytime that happens I usually look to Maile Belles to inspire me and she did!  I decided to get out Four of A Kind (CHA special edition) and play with it and Maile's lovely card here did the trick.  Her simply yet eye-catching style really gets me thinking outside the box and I am always picking my jaw up off the laptop keys when I see her work.  So, thank you Maile for being so inspirational to me!  I was so on a roll that I decided to challenge myself to make 5 cards from this stamp set, all of which you will be seeing in the coming days!  I was amazed with what I could create with just a few images and some paper and ink!  Try it sometime, it really gets your mojo flowing.  Well, that's it for me!  Have a great day!

  10. Great card, Lindsay! I finally got caught up on your blog -- all 12 unread posts! -- and found that you gave me my first glimpses of PTI's CHA exclusive set... I'd forgotten to look for it! Loved seeing your CHA pics with all the "stars", too. :)
