little card...BIG thanks

on

Hello!

My weekend hasn't been very crafty productive....I spent 3.5 hours at Impress' Stamp night and managed to make 1 card:


3.5 hours people.

I'm not very good as a mobile crafter:)

All the American Crafts Soho Garden goodness is from Paper Issues!

My card was loosely inspired by the latest retrosketches:


I finally inked up one of my new CAS-ual Fridays stamp


Big Thanks

This card is going to a fab friend of mine that coordinated a job shadow for my girl last Friday.  It was with a Seattle biotech company:


She spend 4 hours with 2 different Research Assistants.  It's such a rewarding graduation requirement...super proud of my girl:)

At least you got ONE card out of your 3.5 hours, LOL! And what a gorgeous card it is. Bright and cheerful! I'm not a very good mobile stamper either. I am fully capable of spending five hours or so with my crafty friends and being lucky to come away with one card. :-)

Hey, it's a pretty awesome card! Love the yellow flower - looks like it's fringed or maybe pleated? Totally cool :) And I can't mobile craft to save my life...at least not on paper. I can crochet in the car, since I don't drive :)

Love your card. The papers, the flowers. LOVE IT!
I have to agree with you, I am not a very good mobile crafter either unless it is at a retreat where you check in for more than the night.

I am chuckling a little bit because you sound like me at my Archiver's crop nights.......I NEVER get anything done! ;)
Do love the card you did! Such a great mix of goodies, and I love the bold colors against the kraft. Awesome sentiment! Really love the different flowers, too. Adds such great visual texture.

I absolutely ADORE how you used this CAS-ual Fridays sentiment! You do such inspiring work, Amy! And yes indeed, you should be proud of your DD! What a great achievement. This job shadowing really enhances her learning and experience! xo

I don't think I could get any work done at Impress either! It is a lovely card though!

BTW, girls in lab coats rock! (I wear one every day;)

Love your DD in a lab coat! So awesome...I can see why you're a proud momma. :)

The dp you used on your card is SUPER pretty. I like the dramatic dark background of it, and the way you used it on your card.

You are supah sweet and funny too. It could take me 3.5 hours to make a card at home - I don't think I should ever take my act on the road!

Really love this one ... it's just so HAPPY. I hear you on not being a "mobile crafter" I can't get ANYTHING done when I'm with others. Unless it's something I've already thought of and I need to mass produce it, like invitations or Christmas cards. Then I'm OK.

Amy - I LOVE this card! I'm so glad you got some CAS-ual Fridays Stamps and got to ink em' up already! And don't worry, sometimes it takes me that long to make a card BY MYSELF! We don't have a single stamp or scrapbooking store here, so I don't get to go to crops. Crazy, in a city with a million people... :(
Anyway, love your card, as always!

I'm not a very good mobile crafter either, I always want something I forgot to bring! Love how you used the RS sketch and the patterned paper & flowers are gorgeous.

PS I have no doubt your girl has an amazing future in store!
