Inspired by the royal wedding. . .

Yesterday's royal wedding sparked my enthusiasm for wedding cards (not for outlandish hats out of Dr. Seuss!). Pale gray and ivory themes with a touch of sparkle. Will also try some pearl-embellished ones, perhaps white-on-white or white-on-pale gray with a touch of pale green leaves. I seem to have an inexhaustible supply of daisies that need to be put away for a while.

I was inspired by a fellow card-making blogger who used dotted swiss-embossed cardstock squares and took them to one of my own favorite basic designs: squares on squares on squares with a sentiment mounted on the same cardstock and embellished with pearls. For me, a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon. Hope you like them. (I'm finally get the hang of iPhoto and uploading to blogger.)

Cards with an eye toward upcoming occasions.

Rainy Saturday sends me down to my card studio. I confess I love cutting and pasting, like a first-grader.

Missed my card studio (aka the basement), so I spent some time today cutting and pasting. It satisfies something to see so many colors and prints in my stash, and awakens the "more" beast.
