Sweet and Simple

Hello all! Hope you are all enjoying your weekend. I had to take my daughter to an Ortho appt today. One thing I hate about where I live is I have to drive far to get to certain places. For example the Ortho. The closest place to us is an hour away. So we drove a total of 2 hrs for a 15 min appt. Seriously??? I wasted $15 in gas to get there. Oh my!

We got home in time to put my kids to nap, I went to the gym and returned to do a bit of crafting. Oh what a boring day! LOL! Well the card I have to share for you I actually made last night. I set out to clean my space and as I was "organizing" I came across some chipboard and my mind immediately started thinking, then I got sidetracked and began making this card. I think this was the easiest card I have ever made.
I made a comment before that usually cards take me over an hour to make. This one took me probably less than 10 min. Yippee!



All the chipboard is from Basic Grey, Nook and Pantry and Origins collections. I inked a wood grain stamp with Versamark, I love that look on Kraft cardstock! Tied some Chocolate Chip satin ribbon from Stampin' UP! and rounded the corners and I called it a night. Well I attempted to organize some more but I got bored so I went to bed.

I will share some pics of my space maybe tomorrow. It is by far nothing impressive. We currently rent our home and we just don't have much space right now, so my "craft area" is a 6ft desk in our bedroom, some shelves on the wall and bada boom bada bing, that is where the magic takes place. LOL! Actually some days I wish I had a magic wand to wave over a piece of cardstock and be able to make a master piece because I tell ya, my mojo has really been hiding the last month or so. :-)

Anywhoo, I have a great night, all. Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Crafting!!
