Happy Saturday! We had a fabulous day today, got up headed for the beauty salon for a much needed hair cut and color and then hopped on BART and took of for San Francisco. Today was the San Francisco Giants FanFest and first day you could buy single game tickets. We purchased our tickets and then wandered around the ball park, then we headed back to BART and had lunch at La Boulange, so yummy. It was a fabulous start to our day. So much inspiration after spending time in the ball park that I was able to get 2 cards made so far, one for Paper Smooches and PTI's MIM #103 Double Up Die Cut and the other for Cloud 9. This week's them for Paper Smooches is Polka Dots and I needed a birthday card too, it was a match made in heaven.
My second card is for this months WP9 challenge blog, Could 9. This one was a quick and easy card I never knew that kraft and raspberry fizz would look so pretty together. You still have time to play along, you have the chance to win WP9 stamps!

OK--I totally adore both cards. The first is so happy--with those cute butterflies in polka dots. Also love your window--I wasn't wild about that mat stack shape when it was first released, but I am loving it on your card. And, your WPlus9 card is totally adorable. I love that sweet little heart banner, your row of 'be mine's, and that gorgeous little rose.
ReplyDeleteKim I love both of your cards--fantastic!Love the stamps you used for PS and the pretty CAS card for WPlus9 with that sweet rose.
ReplyDeleteAwesome cards, Kim! I love the butterflies, but the sheer simplicity and yet, strong card with the pink is so appealing! Nice work!!

ReplyDeleteThanks for the congrats Kim! I am so glad that I was finally able to 'find' my way to your blog. I kept getting some weird looking page that kept telling me that I don't have permission to access your blog. Funny thing is, I know that I have visited in the past.
