i{heart}2 WHAT?…

May 17, 2008, by {Jen}

Stamp? Not today, at least. I was in the mood to make a scrappy card and when I got done I realized just why this mood does not strike me that often. I don’t {heart} it. I kept adding to this card and I don’t think this really what I thought it was going to look like. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t think it’s a complete piece of trash, but it’s just not me. I don’t do brights or scrappy to the level that I do my everyday stamping. Know what I mean?

Anywhooo, I’m writing this on Friday night to auto post in the morning. I am going to make this short and sweet because all I really want to do right now is get under the covers and count some sheep.

Here’s the sketch…
sfytt_051708.JPG

My bright and scrappy {most of these scrap materials from Me & My Big Ideas scrap kit} sample…
sfytt_051708_sample.jpg

May’s Guest Designer, {uber talented} Toni Whitnell’s, sample…

Be sure to check out what Amy, Carole, Shannan and Susan made, too.

I hope you will play along with us!! Please link your project to this post and use the keyword SFYTT on SCS.

    I LOVE your card Jen! I always admire scrappy cards but me personally, I can’t seem to make them work. I think I’ll try to do something scrappy soon….YOU have inspired me!
    The sketch looks fun. I’m off to a couple LSS today so I’ll work on it after I find some new goodies!
    Toni’s card is beautiful….love the cutout flowers.

    See, I don’t think you’ll be surprised to hear that I absolutely {{{{heart}}}}} your bright colorful card Jen! It’s totally my style and one that I think you do well but don’t give yourself enough credit for! I know we all have our likes and dislikes when it comes to stamping, but personally, I think you did a mahhhvalous job darling!

    Hugs,
    Amy

    Oh, scrap! Way too cute, Jen! You know how much I’m digging those bright colors. And Toni’s is a lovely, elegant contrast that shows off the versatility of this sketch. BTW, I LOVE the sketch — it’s a SFYTT Classic I’ll come back to again and again!

    Jen, It always surprises me when I sell some of the cards I make and the ones left over are often some of my favorites. I think that this card is gorgeous and that it wouldn’t last long in a sale! Scrappy may not be your “thing” but you’re good at it!
