Sparkle and Fizz

This week is super busy for me!  I have a wedding, a birthday party, and a baby shower all to attend this week!  So...I have a lot of cards to make!  And that's good news, because I'm pretty sure that what I will be making is what I will be sharing this week!  (If you have a wedding this fall, birthday parties, or baby shower, then this whole week will have you covered---so stay tuned!) OK, wedding card.  Since it's a fall wedding, I wanted to do something really simple, but pretty.  And since the couple are a whimsical two, super romantic really isn't their thing.  Have you used the Sheltering Tree Stamp Set?  It is truly one of my absolutely favorites because I just love the possibilities you can have with trees!  You can change the colors of the "leaves" for all the seasons, or just leave the tree bare for some stunning winter scenes, too.  Plus, if you use this set with layers...mmm!  It's gorgeous!  Seriously.  You will get tons  of use out of this

A little paper, one stamp, and some linen thread bring today's Simple Saturday Creation to fruition!  You probably have most of these supplies sitting around your craft room, so use this layout for some Simple Saturday inspiration and craft away! There's no dimension, no fancy cuts, not even a die cut in sight!  I simply let the Painted Autumn Designer Series Paper do the "talking" and added one simple banner with the "Give Thanks" sentiment from the Labels to Love Stamp Set .  I did add a little solid color cardstock to bring out the secondary color in the DSP ( Cajun Craze ) and I tied some Linen Thread to the banner piece (created with the Banner Triple Punch ), but those "extras" aren't necessary (even though they took less than two minutes to add). I'd love to see your take on this easy layout!  Share with me your Simple Saturday Creation! Here's what I used to create today's card: Very Vanilla Car
