Card Design Just Right vs Too Much

You may have seen the first card before.  Let me tell you about it.  I love our Be Merry Designer Series Paper.  There are so many cute designs and great background patterns.  

The Merry Cafe stamps make such fun cups - everyone loves a hot beverage on a cold day!  The Holly embossing folder adds rich texture and detail to emphasize the cup.

I wanted to share how the card above displays the "less is more" philosophy.  Which is why I am posting about it again for this lesson.  One row of Designer Series Paper and ribbon was perfect but two of each was utter busy-ness.  Can you tell the difference?  Oh my, go ahead and laugh!

I also want to tell you that our Online Extravaganza is coming on Monday!!!  I can't wait to share all the details.

Team Swap Monday 2017 Holiday Catalog #3

Welcome to my weekly series "Team Swap Monday" where I share lovely designs made by my stamping team.  We still have many wonderful samples to show off the 2017 Holiday catalog.  I share links to several of these products at the end of this post.  So let's get started!

This lovely sunflower card was made by Ruthie Graen using our gorgeous Autumn Harvest bundle.

Julie Robinson made this cheery card using the Painted Autumn Designer Series Paper and the Merry Cafe stamp set.  I really like this jute twine, it's great on its own, separated into three strands or fluffed up (so many options!).

Raindrops on Roses

This morning brought answers to prayer, and a long awaited, huge, sigh of relief of rain to our parched, forest fires in the west.  I was delighted to enjoy the raindrops on my roses after our morning walk to the school bus. 

Every morning I detangle curly snarls into smooth waves.  I had to capture this moment...childhood goes by so quickly and I love being a mama!
