How about a kwik & kool card for today?
I used up some of my retiring colored card stock on this one. I used the stamp set, Hello Again, to create my simple, but cute card.
Don't miss out on the retiring (last chance lists) products. Things are selling out fast... so start shopping to stock up on your fave's before June 30 rolls around.

CHANCE ITEMS - ENDS JUNE 30!!
The other night, I was playing around with some non-traditional ideas for Valentine's Day cards.
I came up with these two cards using Kraft cardstock, my favorite card base. I was going for a denim look above.
Below, you'll see I combined the flower stamp image with the heart, creating my own custom-made image. This is easy to do with Stampin' Write Markers.
Both cards use the stamp set "Hello Again". This set is versatile, cute, and best of all - affordable.
For only $12.95, you get 5 adorable images.
Hello Again - Item #113780, $12.95

Pals Paper Arts presents you with our 10th challenge today.
The rules are simple:
My creation for today is very important to me.
You see - I created these two cards with someone very special in mind.
Someone that I will be forever grateful for, someone that I admire and love with my whole heart.
That someone is my Mom...
In August of 2006, she was diagnosed with Inflammatory Breast Cancer. This rare type of cancer accounts for approximately 1% of all breast cancer cases.
Talk about scary. But if that wasn't enough to test her strength ... the cancer spread to her bone. Most recently, her tumor count has tripled and she is now on a path to permanent chemotherapy.
My Mom is 54 years young and while I realize nature and science will take its course, I refuse to let that get me down. I plan to keep hope in my heart and help her life a happy, healthy life for as long as possible.
She is surrounded by a loving family, great friends, and guardian angels. I know she will appreciate having thank you cards ready to send. I plan to make more, package them up, and get them in her hands ASAP.
I love you, Mom!
Back to the cards - I am so happy I bought this Gratuitous Graffiti background stamp. These cards turned out beautifully and I have enjoyed using this image greatly.
It was really fun creating with all of the new In Colors as well. Sitting atop my favorite card base, Kraft cardstock, I think this is a great start to a pretty set of cards.
Pals Paper Arts is waiting for you to come play!!
This weeks challenge is a color challenge.
The rules are simple:
Using the Cool Kids Simply Scrappin' Kit I began my layout for this 8" x 8" page.
The paper in this kit comes sized 12" x 12" but can be easily trimmed to work for a 6" x 6" book.
The Crushed Curry mat you see is the piece from the Cool Kids kit. I simply mounted it on Brocade Blue and Ruby Red to adjust to fit an 8" x 8" scrapbook.
In case you can't read my writing - my page reads:Things I love ...
But most of all ... YOU! and then points to my now Kindergartner, Devlin. He is the center of my universe - that kid! Watch for more scrapbook pages to come, I'm really enjoying creating in this medium again.
Simply Scrappin' Kits are great for all levels of scrap-bookers. You can even create cool cards and other projects using these kits.
