8/3 Stampin' Up! Bright Blossoms & Summer Smooches

Good Morning Friends!

It's been a super busy week here at the studio.  I had club week.  It's my favorite week of the month, because I get to see my friends "the clubbers".  :)

This morning I'm sharing a card I made last month.  I just love the summer smooches product set.  I wasn't overly crazy about them when I got the set (admittedly) but when I started playing, boy did I have fun!  This card features the holiday ornament punch as a vase again.  It's just another way to use the same idea.  I found a cute vase image inside the smooches designer paper and cut it out for the front of my vase.

This one is also pretty clean and simple like yesterday's cards, but I have a few more layers here.

That's it for this morning, but I'll be back with the Saturday sketch challenge tonight at 6pm!  :)
