Simple Saturday

And, how is your day going? I hope it has been a good one. I've done OK, although I haven't accomplished quite as much as I'd hoped. That, I believe, would have required what Bjorn calls "Super Powers."

About my card, I had some inspiration but don't know from whom or where. I hate that. I can only redeem myself by saying that because I was working from memory, it may not as much as remotely resemble what I actually saw. LOL. Seriously, if I come across the original, I'll let you know.

As for card details, I colored the images with markers - quick and easy. I love the colors even though they remind me of fall, which will be here sooner than I want it to be.

Materials & Tools: Colonial White, Cocoa, and Stampin' Up Kraft cardstock; Bo Bunny Press Vintage Carnival patterned patterned paper; Cocoa ink pad; Brown Bag, Garden Green, Olive, Goldrush, Autumn Terracotta, and Sunflower markers; Hero Arts Trees, Birds & Messages stamp set; Stampin' Up Old Olive grosgrain ribbon.

I did a crazy thing today, as in starting a blog on Word Press. No, I do not need another blog. I already have another Blogger blog that is dormant. What I was going to do was import this one to Word Press. I got the idea from Tiffany, who, bless her heart, is obviously more blog/tech savvy than I am. She made the switch a few weeks ago and loves it. I thought I would, too, and might if I could figure it out. Another day, perhaps. Do take a look at Tiffany's iheartart blog though. Not only is her artwork fun and original, but she's been posting some interesting information of late as well.

Other than the blog thing, I didn't do anything interesting today. Cleaning. Laundry. Before bed, I'm going to go see what I can drum up for tomorrow in my little corner, so I have something to show you tomorrow. 'Til then, take care, and like always, thanks for stopping by!

Your card is GORGEOUS - I hate to jinx you, but I'm more than ready for autumn here!!! Bring it on!

Now, that's really selfish of me. You haven't had much of a summer up there yet. I'm sorry.

The "nuts about you" is so cute - and the tree is awesome! I love the card, truly.

Another beauty! Love the fall colors you've chosen. And I can use yours as inspiration, because I have that stamp set, Yay for me!

Hope you have a great day.

You are TOOOOO sweet calling me blog savvy, LOL! I started "the switch" last year and never finished! This year, I had more patience ;)

Your card is SUPER sweet!!!! And, I'd like to think that we don't have original ideas when it comes to art, just alterations of each other's!

One more thing - Kathi, it is because of your perfectionism that we get to enjoy such magnificent art! If I were but a little more patient, my cards would be perfect every time as well. Alas, I'm usually ready to check off the next item on the list! LOL
