Card Of The Week – A Card To Uplift Your Spirits
Happy WOYWW to you, dear friends! This week I have another Clean and Simple card to share with you – one created from colorful die cuts and a few well-placed embellishments found in the most ancient parts of my stash.
It’s really refreshing to go back to basics sometimes and just let the shapes of the elements before you guide your design.
Sometimes, the simplest things in life really are the best.

This week Magellan turns two! While I was busy planning a surprise birthday bash for him – Magellan was busy hunting down his birthday toys! Get the full scoop at this week’s Wordless Wednesday party!
I’m also ringing in Autumn with everyone’s favorite flavor sensation – Pumpkin! Delight your family with our fabulous Pumpkin Babka!
Now it’s your turn to share your creations with us! What have you created or acquired this week? Whether you’re showing off your desk, sharing your latest acquisitions, or spotlighting your latest creation – be sure to share it with our creative community at our weekly parties as well!
Have an inspiring week and thanks for stopping by!

Cute card! And I’m intrigued – is that a tablecloth for the background? It’s wonderful!

Hi Julia,
Isn’t that a fun background? It’s actually the very artistic cover of my tablet (nothing drab for me!)
I’ll try to remember to give you a full shot of it in a future WOYWW post as it’s SO pretty!
Your card is beautiful. I love the colors. #35

Thank you so much Regina!
Oh, that card is beautiful, you are right sometimes the simplest things are best.
Love your cat, he looks gorgeous and cuddly, but the star of your page must be that Pumpkin Babka. We don’t do much with pumpkin over here in UK, people hollow out the great big orange pumpkin to make nasty Halloween faces and throw away the flesh because we have no tradition of using it, such an awful waste of food when so many people are really hungry. So I love a really tasty recipe to make using the flesh, let’s hope OH likes it. I have pinned it on Pinterest so I can find it.
