For these cards I used the SAB scrapbook kit from 2011. I realized I have 3 of these and having boys, I don’t have a lot of opportunity for Pink in scrapbooks, or flowers for that matter. So, I decided to use some of the kits to make cards. Since I had to make 4 sets of cards 1 kit worked great! I was thinking when I started it would help use up 2, but I only ever used 1/2 of 1 kits to make these and a few other cards for this occassion. I will be going back to them to make more for other gifts I need later this summer!

I already showed the bags that were made for the Teacher’s Appreciation gift.  I am going to try to group the cards that were made and put inside. 

These two I made specifically because they helped showcase the school colors, and matched the bags!

 

Hehehe…. does this card look a little familar?  I told you before that I loved this layout!

 

Last week, I posted two of the Thank You cards that I had made for my kids to send out for collecting money for their school fund raiser.  Here are the remaining cards that they sent.

They all have the Same DSP (Summer Smooches), but I had to change either the back ground Layer or Ribbon.  Their schools colors are Blue and Yellow, so I wanted to still try to keep to those colors on the cards as well.

This one uses the Pacific Point paper behind the DSP and White ribbon.  Yes, this ribbon is retired, but it was the best size to use on these cards.

This one, I switched the background paper to Daffodil Delight, but kept the white ribbon.

This one, I used Daffodil Delight for both the background paper and ribbon.

I love to just take an idea and play around with it some to see what I come up with.  Sometime I find one I love more than another, and other times, I just end up liking them all! 

What do you think?

Yet another Mother’s Day card inspired by challenges:

The concept: Mother’s Day is from The Paper Players.

The sketch is from Stamping 411!

Sometimes I like to make cards just to have a moment to myself.  Not using a challenge, or for an event and even without a need.  Most of the time I do this is because I am putting off working on my kids’ scrapbooks and I can justify the card is a quicker use of creative energy needing to get out.

This is one of those cards.
