- I used the sketch 145 from the clean & simple blog for my layout.
- I chose to use scraps from my 2008 Bitty Dot pp for the color blocks. This way I can finally complete the Paper Dolls challenge from Suzanne:) We are to use patterned paper everywhere except the base. Sorry it took me over a month to get this done Suzanne.
- I also added some faux stitching to the sentiment panel so that I could play along with the Stampin'Sisters in Christ doodle challenge.
All supplies from Papertrey Ink unless stated
Stamps: Beautiful Blessings, Everyday Blessings
Paper: white cs, 2008 bitty dot basics pp
Ink: Orange Zest, Sky Blue (memento)
Other: black pen (helix), red pearls (recollections)

Your card is a clean and simple beauty! :) I agree - doing a card once is fun and satisfying...doing it over and over is no longer fun! :) Then it becomes a chore.
Hi Sara! So glad that you "found" us!! Your color block take is fantastic! I love the patterns and colors and all the polka dots! Hope you can continue to play with us at CAS-ual Fridays. And I do mass produce, but then I like to varied the cards a little bit in each one, just so I don't get bored (like you)and I also think that hand-made cards should not be all the same :)
I am the same, I don't think I have ever mass produced any cards (or even done 2 exactly the same). Usually I think I will do a second one slightly different and it turns out quite a lot different. I think it is the artist in me that does not want to feel like a machine !
I love your card, Sara! I lose interest too...I realized I am better at "One-Hit Wonders"...I like the challenge of coming up with them! ;) Once in awhile, though, if it is easy enough..I can mass produce. ;)
This is so pretty. You did a great job lining the cross up with the polka dots. I always struggle getting my stamps straight!! Thanks for joinin the Stampin' Sisters in Christ Challenge. You did a great job doodling.
Yep, happens to me too, which is why I don't mass produce either. lol
Another fabulous card my friend!
Wow! Love those sweet polka dots as your color blocking! Great idea! Thanks so much for playing with us at CAS-ual Fridays - looking forward to seeing more of your beautiful work!
Yeah, I totally lose interest after making the same card over and over. And usually I tweak it a little..lol. Love the color block with patterns..brilliant!
Absolutely love!
The colors are so great together...
love the simplicity of it but yet so striking!
This set is in my cart...
I passed last month knowing I would regret it...
I did/do!! :)
Love how you used pp for the colorblocking...
just gorgeous!
Sara, your card is so, so pretty! I totally love the colors you put together and the stamp is just beautiful. I've said many times, there is no way that I could ever make wedding cards because of the exact reason you mentioned. I don't like to mass produce. I can do 8-10 of the same thing, but then I have to move on.
This is gorgeous Sara, love that verse. Thank you for joining us at Stampin Sisters in Christ.
Great card, Sara! I like the faux stitching. This would be easy to mass produce, but I get bored after making a few of the same card, too.
What a lovely card! I made four of the same card the other day for some grad cards. When I was done, my husband asked if I could make a couple more for him to give away and I made two different cards. I just didn't feel like pulling out the same stamps and making it again-- much more fun to be creative!
AMEN!!! The colors are great here Sara ~~ and not over stated so the sentiment can be the focus!!! I can make a few cards the same but then I am like Dory from Nemo ........ OH Hey look at this stamp set over here .....
Love your color blocking technique with the sentiment as the focal point! Such a beautiful card!
I love when you make Scripture cards! They just speak to my heart and I feel like it is a special note from the Lord! :) This is so pretty! love all the colors!
