Keep It Simple --- Sometimes!
Today I colored several images to use in cards for challenges this week. But since I don't have new cards tonight, I want to keep in touch with you all by showing some quick cards I made last month.
Sometimes I try to keep my cards simple, which is not easy for me. It seems I have this need to fill space. That goes for my home as well as my cards! So sometimes I just have to simplify --- my home and my cards!
Lynette at My Stamping Addiction is someone I admire (and envy) for her ability to make amazingly elegant cards that have a lot of "white" space. Please browse through her blog and I'm sure you will be as hooked as I am on her simply beautiful cards. She is my inspiration to K.I.S.S.!
Last month I just had to get some cards done quickly, so I went simple. Thanks to Xyron Creative Station, Nestabilities, border punches, stamps, and my stash of DP, flowers, and ribbons, I was able to put together 10 cards in just over an hour.

Had to laugh a bit! I know how you feel. It's tough to hold back on the embellies but you did a beautiful job. xxD
Beautiful cards, Barb - I love them all! That's amazing to get ten cards done in an hour - wow! And, thanks SO MUCH for the link to my blog. That's really sweet of you. Have a wonderful day!!
.....great idea, Barb, and thanks for sharing. My biggest setback in making cards, is the time I take to make "one". I am just too slow but perhaps I should K.I.S.S. Thanks for the tips.
