Papertrey September Blog Hop Challenge

 
This month's Challenge was to show off some new skills that you have discovered over the years. Well I'm not sure if this is really a skill or not but here goes. I've learned to use less stuff. I just love simple cards and I think that less is more. I always believed this but after looking at lots of blogs including Maile Belles I've become more firm in this belief. I think her cards are so beautiful and yet oh so simple. And just because they are simple doesn't mean that just anyone can create them. I do believe that simple cards are not easy to create but when you make a good one it is just beautiful.

My next four cards are created after a long break from card making. I don't think I have stamped since July. I've just been so busy with summer and kids that I really haven't been very inspired or had the time. When I saw the wreath set this month I knew this would get me stamping and boy did it. I had so much fun making these cards. I made these in 2 days. That is huge for me. Thanks for stopping by today and Happy Stamping.

Terrific cards!! I love how you made the wreath spooky for Halloween!

[Cathy Weber]

Your cards are a perfect example of why this set is called a Wreath for All Seasons. You have made the absolute best use of this set I have seen so far. I would never have thought to make it a Halloween wreath, but with the spider and bat, it totally works. Even the black striped ribbon is perfect for Halloween. Great, great job

[Sue Ann Hallinger]

these are fabulous and I adore how you used the wreaths for the Halloween cards ..... all of them are just wonderful!!

[Laura Isham]

I am in love with how all the cards are similar but still very different. the Halloween ones couldn't be any cuter and the holiday ones are stunning. what a great show case of how versatile this stamp set is. great, great job!

Seeing all these wreath projects tonight is killin' me -- I won them on Day 1, but they've not yet come -- good thing is I'll have many ideas to try from BH tonight when they finally do!!! ;-)

I love all of these! Love where you placed the buttons! Very cute and pretty cards!

These really surprised me with the bat and spider, great idea! Love the ones with the buttons the most though, just gorgeous!

[Amanda Smith]
