Edited: I had set this post to go live this morning, and the Hop was postponed after I went to bed. Sorry for the inconvenience! The rest of the girls will be back next Saturday with their Go To Layouts. I may even have another of my own.
Good Saturday morning! If you’ve already started your holiday weekend, I hope you are being good. I’m heading to Downtown Jeff today for the parade. My sorority sisters and I will be on the Boat Float today! One of our sisters has a pontoon boat that we will be decorating and riding in while her husband drives us down the street. Of course that’s not anything new for us. Typically when we go out on the boat we gather at their house, and we ladies ride down to the river in the boat! Way too much . . . good times! Hopefully I’ll get some great pictures today.
Today is also the Stamp Simply Blog Hop. It’s all about quick cards using our go to layout and making the type of card we always seem to need. As I look back over my last few weeks of uploads, I think this is definitely my go to layout. I really could broaden my scope of layouts. Even though the ribbon and the border may be in a different spot, it’s for sure the same layout over and over and over.
For me, I seem to make all occasion cards. I leave the inside blank and then my mother, sister or aunt can request a stamp to go inside. They get most of my cards as I’m not very good at sending many out.
OMG, I’ve just admitted how BAD I truly can be!
Anyhoo, here’s my card.
I used some of my new Wordsworth stamps (geesh I LOVE these sentiments) and stitched some Queen Bee paper to a cardstock backing. This time I tied the bow (and NO, I do not use a Bow Easy . . . it’s like tying your shoes . . . every Girl Scout knows how to tie a square knot) at the bottom and inserted a decorative pin.
