And here’s my card today with a romantic theme:
We have an out of town basketball game tonight so I was pressed for time today. And when I’m rushed, I always grab my Journal Notes by Crafty Secrets. This beautiful floral was from the Summertime pad. I added a sentiment and bow and called it done!!! Stamped Simply, for sure!
My sentiment is from Loving Thoughts (see graphic and description below). Cut with Petite Circle Nesties, pierced for a lacey look, and adorned with Kaiser Rhinestones for some sparkle. I used VersaFine Vintage Sepia Ink. Simple layers, quickly done!
My bow was so pretty, just wanted to show you. This is a double bow of 100% Mauve 1.25″ Silk Ribbon by May Arts, made on the Bow Easy, adhered to the card with Aleene’s Fast Grab Tacky Glue that I get from Wal-Mart. Just takes a minute to do this bow!
Here’s a graphic of the set I used — Loving Thoughts Centers by JustRite Stampers — for the 1 5/8″ Stampers. This is one of the new releases that just shipped this week. I have a good supply on hand. They sell for $14.95. Just email me if you’d like a set — [email protected].
Signing off quickly — must get to that game on time. I’ll be back later tonight to provide all links — the Stamp Simply Ribbon Store carries most items to make this card — the Journal Notes, Silk Ribbon, JustRite Stamps, Kaiser Pearls, Spellbinders Petite Circle Nestabilities, Bow Easy.
I’ll be back later to clean up this post — thanks for stopping in!!!!

I also got that wedding account (not sure if you remember me talking about the Just Rite stamps for my bride) … posted new pics of what the bride decided on for her final design on invites, place cards, table markers and thank you notes.
Thanks so much for all your great inspiration and help!!!!!!!!!!
