Thank You Cards

So I finally sat down to make Thank you cards for all the people who helped me wtih preschool VBS. I had quite a few to make, so I tried to make them simple, but fun. I also used materials out of my scrap box. Everything I don't use on a card, goes into my scrap box for these occassions. I like using scraps because it makes me combine colors that I would not do on a normal basis.
Supplies:
Stamps: Thank you Kindly
Cardstock: So Saffron, Pretty in Pink, Whisper White
Designer Paper: Sunny Garden
Ink: Black StazOn
Punches: Scallop Oval, Decorative Label (new Mini Holiday Catalog) and Scallop Trim Border
Ribbon: So Saffron Polytwill I(retired)

Happy Stampin!

Summer Scrapbook Pages

Okay so I thought I already posted these pages, but when I was looking I realized I had not. These are a few pages I made for a scrapbook workshop. The 12x12 page is whipser white cardstock and then we decorated it with ink to make it look like the beach. The ladies at the workshop thought it was designer paper (smile).. The two 6x6 pages were just fun summer pages, made with Stampin Up punchesSchool is right around the corner so I better get working on some Back to School pages. Enjoy the rest of the summer! Happy Scrappin!
