Playing it Safe

Before I talk about my card, I want you to take a look at this card on Lisa's Creative Corner. Isn't it beautiful? Well, I tried but didn't get results so lovely, and my attempt is resting comfortably in the trash can with my stab at faux suede from the night before. Until I get my missing mojo back, I'm just going to link you to what I'd like to do, and otherwise, play it safe.

Besides, you all know I like simple anyway. Simple, to me, is classic, which is what I thought when I saw this card on Gina K.'s A Day in the Life blog. I was even more impressed with her commentary and the things she's grateful for - the simple things. To make my card, I changed the colors and used a simple little flower stamp from the much-used, much-loved Treasure Life set. I'm grateful, too - for the simple things and even the not-so-simple things that teach me the lessons of life.

Materials & Tools: Colonial White, Goldrush, and Chocolate cardstock; Chocolate Ink pad; Goldrush, Brown Bag, and Garden Green markers; Treasure Life September SOTM; Chocolate grosgrain ribbon; Small pewter spiral clips; Cuttlebug w/Argyle embossing folder and Rectangular Nestabilities; 3M foam mounting tape.

If my scheduled post works, I'll be bowling when this appears tomorrow evening. I'm doing the scheduled thing, because Bjorn and Mathias will be here when I get home, and thus, there will be stories to read, prayers to be said, and, if we're not so lucky, a little bedtime battle. Regardless, I wanted to get this done in case I run out of time, energy, or both. I'll be "live" again Thursday evening, and who knows? By then, I just might have my mojo back. 'Til then, you have a good one!
