I have two cards for today, and thought I would share really quick. "Commenting coming right after dinner (provided DH isn't monopolizing me....)," she said with fingers crossed. First up is a card for CTS. Miss America, aka, Darnell is GD there this week, so I knew I had to play along.
Awesome Sketch:
Here's my QAEZPZ card:
The stamps are from a sweet Studio Calico set. Some PTI ink, and a bit of very hoarded Stampin' Up Baja Breeze card stock. (Jen Mitchell knows what I mean...) You can almost see the WoS on those bowties.
Next I wanted to play along at The Heart Desires Challenge. Check out this inspiration photo:
I picked up on the stripes, metallics, the pink and the green from those gorgeous plants:
The gold striped vellum was a gift from Geri G. The plants are from a kit by MME, called On Trend 2. A scrap of green card stock, some gold die cut with an MB die, and that's about it. Gotta run, need to check on DH. Have a great week, and do a few happy dances just because you can.

I love the modern design of your cards; both are lovely but the 2nd card with the cacti is my favorite :)
Super sweet cards, Bev! Those bowties are perfect for the sketch! And I love the details on those fun cacti!
Your little bow ties are adorable, Bev. I love how you incorporated the gold stripes of the pot with the striped vellum to show off your cute little cacti.
Hey there pal! Been MIA this past week enjoying prime mommy/daughter time after Brady surprised me with a visit home! Her and Danny had it all planned! Drove her to Brandon today to catch her flight back. Miss her already!
Sweet, sweet cards! "Woohoo' is absolutely FABULOUS!!! Delightfully clean, simple, and so cool. Love the sentiment! The cactus card ROCKS!!! Especially with the bold pop of pink and the COOL diagonal stripes!!
