So I pulled out some card stock and ink pads in my favorite colors and inked up my brand new CTMH stamps. I created this card in about 20 minutes and was pretty pleased with myself. Then I realized it didn't match the sketch. That's what happens when you don't print out the sketch.
So, take 2. I went back to work and made this card that more closely matches the sketch.
I was able to make 2 easily mailed cards that can be used for a man in less than hour. I think that is a record for me. On another note, I love these colors together but why do I think "McDonald's" every time I look at these cards? Hmmm... I am feeling the need for a cheeseburger.

shall I say how long it took me to figure out why card number one did not match the sketch, and then how long it took me to tell #1 from #2.
Oh my. I must be getting old.
Wow Cheryl, these are both fantastic! I love the colours too :) and it could possibly be for the same reason - subconciously maybe lol. Thanks for sharing and playing along with me this week :)
Andrea
I guess i could've commented on the card and not my inadequacies!!
cheryl, Love the cards and I don't think of McDees when I look at them! Looks like a perfect card to case, just need to sub the stamp on the star with some thing else.

Cheryl,
I love both of these. I am trying to build my stash up, too. These cards would be great for men or women. You are a clever gal.
In answer to your question..it's beacause I don't go to bed until 4 am some nights...lol...but I pay for it at work...oh well..that's the price we pay. If we didn't like it we wouldn't do it, huh?
Fantastic card Cheryl! Great colours.
