Happy WOYWW to you, dear friends! What’s on your workspace today?
I just created a Clean and Simple card for a very special friend!
4 Crafty Chicks challenged us to use something old and new from our stash!
My New is the delightful collection of colorful hearts that I’ve been yearning to use on a project and the beautiful stash of 6 x 6 papers from SEI’s Jocelyn paper line that perfectly complements those hearts!
They also go nicely with Just Add Ink’s beautiful Color Challenge!
I’ve been playing around with design ideas for quite some time. I wanted to stamp the word Heartfelt on the card but – of course – I couldn’t find the stamp I wanted when I wanted it. You probably know how that goes. So, I found another sentiment I liked – from my old Sticko collection – and used that instead. I think for what I want to express, this new sentiment works even better than the original one!
I distressed the edges with Colorbox’s lovely Blush Rose Chalk Ink (my Old) to frame the card and added an extra heart for the finishing touch!
Magellan helped – or was that hindered? – me throughout the entire process!
But, he feels he can do no wrong today. I think being dubbed Beautiful on today’s Wordless Wednesday post has totally gone to his head!

Love the card and your Kittie. Have a great week and happy crafting, Angela x 38
Beautiful, no way he is gorgeous and he know it too. I love seeing other peoples pets or in this case I think Magellan thinks he is mostly human, like Yoda does. What a clever way to use those hearts, I really like the card you have created. Hope you and Magellan has a wonderful week crafting together.
Hugs Eliza & Yoda 49

Thanks Mayra – aren’t the colors awesome? I always enjoy your parties!
Love the card you created! What a great use of your hearts – so cute. Love the papers too. I’ve decided that papers are like fabric. Can’t resist and most go unused….. not fair to either the paper or fabric!
Not playing along this week but wanted to visit a few people.
Happy belated WOYWW
Peace,

Happy Pink Saturday to you too Sheila!
I’ve been really inspired by those “use it up” challenges to find new ways to incorporate old stash items into my projects – which includes a ton of stickers!
So glad you liked the card!
Your talent really came out in this creation.
