HELLLLOOOOO! Well, it's late Thursday evening…which is practically Friday in my book. It's Friday Eve you might say. Just like Christmas Eve only it comes every week! I'm hanging out in my stamp room tonight watching American Idol (it's so good this season, don't you think?) and finishing up my blog post to share with you. I made two cards for today, one kind of shabby chic and full o' stuff and one kind of clean and simple. I was inspired by Stacey's Stamping Stage Curtain Call Color Challenge #71! The colors are: Kraft, Cherry Cobbler red, Yellow/Gold and Mustard. MMMM. Yummy. When I saw the challenge colors, I instantly knew which papers I wanted to use. Therein lied the problem…
My favorite color paper from Stampin' Up is cherry cobbler! LOVE love LOVE it. That part was easy. Then I picked out some nice Kraft paper from my stash and then some mustard polka dot paper. Then…dun dun dun…I got out the Webster's Pages Spring Market Collection papers. OMG. Really? Seriously? Maybe the prettiest paper I've ever seen. I ain't lyin'. So, every molecule and fiber of my being is telling me "you must hoard this paper and you must not make pretty cards with it, because then it will be all used up." Do you have that voice too? But, I made myself cut this gorgeous paper in half, and then half again…sigh. I have declared 2011 the year of no hoarding of craft supplies…and I was proud of myself!
Okay…you're probably like…get to the cards already Wanda! Here is card #1…Those little bees have been in my stash for years! I found a pretty red label holder…and a rose…I really wanted that gorgeous paper to be the star of the show. Used a Kraft card base and edged the papers with distress ink.

Here is card #2…the clean and simple version…made with the same exact supplies and color scheme! You don't know how hard it was for me to resist.the.bling!! I like it too, though. Love the banners with the roses, especially! I might do more of this…make a second card…hmmm. Got me thinking…
Happy Weekend Peeps!
Thank you so very much for coming by!

Love your cards!!!
Yeah!! I’ve been waiting for your Spring Market cards! These are gorgeous, Wanda! I LOVE them both. two totally different styles, and you rocked them both! I adore the banner and the clean lines with the pretty stamped sentiment. That’s all a card needs. And then the beautiful detailing of the first with the scalloped edge, the sweet bees and the sentiment plate and flowers. That’s all a card needs, too. In other words….each are absolutely perfect in their own way.
GORGEOUS cards…( I haven’t seen this paper before so its new to me..glad you made two pretty cards with it..I am trying too not to
hoard my beloved papers and emb.)
SHUT UP!!! These are beautimous, Wanda!!! ……………THUD!!! *love*

P. S. Need to know the brand of that little triangle punch – Steph was out of them last weekend!
Thanks for popping by my blog 🙂
Your cards are beautiful – I have that little voice too lol. I love the paper and both your cards are fantastic yet so different, the clean lines of the second (something I can never do!) works perfectly as does the busier first card 😀

Hi Wanda! I am so glad to know that I am not the only paper hoarder out there. I seriously need treatment for this! Guess I will have to go play in the craft room. . .
OK–posting again! Loved Julie’s comment as much as the cards! LOL. Here is the quote:
