I have had a couple of very busy months, and although I've made a lot of cards, they have been very simple ones out of sheer necessity. Maybe that's not all bad.
Initially, I didn't really care for this Thinking of You/Get Well card I made for my mother-in-law, but she loved it. I guess it's growing on me, although without a lot of layers, embellishments and stamping, it still feels a little naked to me-- and as if I've somehow cheated.
By the way, Louise over at Kard Krazy had the most wonderful tip today-- a real "smack-up-side-the-head-why-didn't-I-think-of-that???" idea. She separated out all of her little clear stamp sets into categories (e.g., all the flowers, all the sentiments, etc.) rather than leave them in the pre-packaged sets. As soon as I have a few minutes to call my own, I'm going to follow her lead:

Mary, I love your card. It's funny because I just commented on somebody else's card that I loved "it's simplicity" and then thought, "Did I just insult them?" Well, I guess I'm not the only one who thinks so.
Glad you liked my idea about the clear stamps, too. Makes so much more sense.
Mary...I found you again! I just love this card. The background is just sooooo elegant! Great idea about the clear stamps too...thanks for sharing!
