Hi Everyone. Happy Saturday.
LeAnne has a fabulous challenge for us this week. I had SUCH fun with this challenge that I made two cards!
I love focusing on the sentiment in a card, but this time took it one step further. Something got me thinking and I realized that when Lou is away, there is one thing in particular I miss. It's not just Lou either, I realized that this particular "thing" could change someone's day. Could make someone feel better. Could lighten someone's mood. I realized that it was something I missed about all the people I don't get to see too often. Here's my card.
The image and the sentiment were created entirely in My Digital Studio. I used punch shapes in MDS to create the circle for the smiley face – or in this case… the non-smiley face! I also used circle punches for the eyes and just manipulated the image until I got the right shape, size and position. It was so easy to do that I was really surprised. I then typed the image up in MDS and printed them both out on my new printer. All I had to do was use a circle die to cut out the face and my cutter to do the same for the sentiment.
I backed the image with Night of Navy cardstock and adhered the face with snail. The sentiment was adhered on either end with a little dimensional. Really easy, really quick and I think appropriate! What do you think? I'd love to hear your thoughts on this.
We would love to see you playing along with us this week. I know that you are all so creative and would love to showcase your favorite sentiments on a card… wouldn't you? Yeah, you know you would :-) Seriously, we'd love to have you play along! So, pop along to the Paper Players and load your new creation on our challenge site. In the meantime, check out the great design team cards. They are all so different and I know you will find lots of inspiration.
As always, thank you for visiting my little area of the stamping blogosphere. Warm hugs and prayers for those who need a little lift tonight.
Hugs
Jaydee

How fun is this?!!!! Totally brought a smile to my face! Brilliant idea!
It’s amazing how such a clean and simple card can pack such a big punch. This is wonderful, and although the face is missing his smile, I’m not missing mine. This card truly brought a smile to my face. It’s wonderful, Jaydee!
Hugs!
P.S. Howdy, Lou! :o)

OMG, shut up, this is amazing!!! I so love it and that you created it all with MDS, I so need to learn how to use that more!!
Super cute, Jaydee! Love the simplicity of your card and its very poignant message!
