It’s been such a long time since I posted anything again! I need to write an update on what I’m doing, as well as well as my vision for the future of my blog. But in the mean time, enjoy this card which I created for a family who had me over for dinner the other week.

I hope a few people remember me. It’s been such a long time since I posted anything that I wonder if anyone checks for updates, or subscribes to my RSS feed anymore.
I photographed a few projects while I was back home during December, and I still have some photos on my computer of projects that I created before I came to Texas, so I’m going to try to post a few of those projects during the next few weeks.
Here is the first—a set of coordinating thank you cards that I brought with me to Texas.

Ink: Rich Cocoa Memento (GKD), Old Olive (SU!), So Saffron (SU!)

…let’s see if I can remember how to post.
I’ve been extremely busy in Texas with my internship that I haven’t been able to post any projects to my blog in two months, or even update on my status! I’ve been working with Vision Forum in the Creative Media department, producing emails, web banners, product cover art, etc., and am excited to be serving their ministry! I’ve also been assigned reading material, speeches, manual labor, and much more—it’s been an extraordinary experience that has stretched me to mature in so many different ways.
Currently I am back home in Minnesota for a couple weeks break before I head back down to Texas to complete my internship. So I have time to enjoy my family and I even stamped a card today!
I made up this card for a challenge that Momma gave me last night—make a card using only two colors: black and white.
The main image is from the “Block Greetings” stamp set released by Gina K. Designs in the past two months—Momma purchased it while I was gone, and it looked like the perfect image to use for a classy black and white card! I stamped it onto Pure Luxury white cardstock using Tuxedo Black Memento ink, trimmed and matted it with PL Black Onyx cardstock, and then mounted it to the PL White cardbase with dimensionals. The sentiment was stamped in black ink and a piece of black ribbon was added to complete the card.
Supplies:
Stamps: Block Greetings (GKD), Spring Florals (GKD)
Ink: Tuxedo Black Memento (GKD)
Paper: PL White (GKD), PL Black Onyx (GKD)
Accessories: Black Ribbon, Dimensionals
These are my two favorite projects that I designed for this release. I really like the simplicity of them, and the bold images work perfectly for one-layer-cards.
The two stamps sets being previewed today are “Lean on Me” and “You are Not Alone”, both by Gina K. I appreciate several of the thoughtful sentiments in the You are Not Alone stamp set as well as the circular floral images. The flower images in the Lean on Me set are also fun along with the cute text used on the sentiments.
