Card Of The Week – Simple Pleasures

Simple-Pleasures-by-Create-With-Joy.com

WOYWW 302: What’s On My Work Desk This Week?

Take a sip of your favorite herbal tea.

Enjoy a relaxed stroll through a nearby park.

Spend an afternoon curled up with your favorite book.

Whatever little things in life bring you joy – make sure you partake in them this week!

Simple Pleasures – these are the things that life is made of.

It’s also the theme of this week’s Spring-infused card!

Take a close look at Simple Pleasures. Study the details. Do you notice anything different about this card?

Here’s a few fun facts I’d like to share!

First, Simple Pleasures is made entirely of Scraps! The background papers are from my SEI Happy Day 6 x 6 paper pad and consist of the leftover paper trim I used in last week’s card – Believe.

Here’s a photo of both cards, side by side, for comparison, for those of you who enjoy seeing how one product can take on two entirely different looks when adorned differently!

For Simple Pleasures, I cut out tags from a few complementary-colored paper scraps I found laying around – added the remaining embellishments from a partially used package from a previous project – and stamped and distressed the card in colors to complement the textured ribbon.

Now, it’s your turn to inspire us with your creativity! What have you created this week? Be sure to share your latest creations with us at one of our weekly parties – and be sure to visit the Art Challenge Blogs at the end of this post!

What Are The Crafty Cats Up To?

Magellan On The Hearth

Are you a crafter who lives with one or more cats who regularly engages you with charming poses such as these?

Beware! This is no ordinary stretch. This is the work of a master manipulator whose goal is for you to CATer to his every whim and fancy!

This week at Wordless Wednesday, I ask – in all seriousness – Do You Cater To Your Cat? Stop by – examine the issue – and share your favorite photos with us!

  21. Yeay for you using up scraps AND making a beautiful card at the same time! I hate to throw anything away that “could” be used for something so I am often holding on to ridiculous bits of paper/card stock, but every once in a while you need them and they work perfectly just like your card. And thanks for the reminder to enjoy those simple pleasures in life. Thanks for playing in our LTSCB “Anything Goes” challenge.

  22. Your Card is beautiful.
