A few things to share...

This weekend, I stopped by Marni Luhu, this super cool gift/jewellery store

in my town and asked the owner if she'd be interested in selling my cards.

I'd packed up a bunch of them in a container and she flipped through them

and kept saying things like: "These are so fun!"

I'm happy to share that she will be selling them in her shop,

just as soon as I can get them in some clear cellophane bags.

As I was pulling the cards together, I came across a few

that I'd submitted for publication and never posted on my blog.

Here's one of them:

I used some Fancy Pants patterned paper for my background.

The chipboard is My Mind's Eye.

I added the banner (diecut from the same FP patterned paper with the PTI double-ended

banner die and stamped with a sentiment from PTI's Road Trip).

Some MME enamel dots finish it off.

I'm linking this up to this week's Simon Says Stamp Challenge: Vacations/Travel.

And, I also want to share a quick card that I made last night 

for this week's Case Study Challenge:

Here's my card:

This was so quick to make! 

I trimmed down an Elle Studio embellishment to 5.5" tall and adhered it so some 

Simon Says Stamp woodgrain card stock.

A few of the spaces were open, so I filled them with stamps:

The "thankful for this" at the top is from PTI's A Few Pointers.

The "The World is more Beautiful...." is from PTI's Life is Beautiful.

And, lastly, I stamped 2014 with my date stamp.

A die cut heart (using the smaller heart from Reverse Confettti's Love Note Confetti Cuts 

with some Heidi Swapp patterned paper), a button and twine finish it off.

Thanks for looking!
