Cards in less than 5 minutes...

Today's Quote
Each day we make deposits in the memory banks of our children.

Birthday hugs and wishes...

Another less than 5 min card...very similar to yesterday's layout as you see, I am trying to show you that you can make completely different cards using similar layouts, different DS paper and same or different colors and also quick n' easy.

I know how time can be very limited for those of us that have small babies, but sometimes for those of you that have grown-up kids as well...life happens! And I know that sometimes you end up buying ready cards just because its easier...and all of your stamping tools just sit there.

So that is why I am here to give you ideas that are quick n' easy and help you picture this cards that you can make in less than 5. Enjoy!

Recipe:
Stamp Sets: Hugs and Wishes
Paper: Rose Red, So Saffron, Cutie Pie DSP
Ink: Rose Red
Other: Cream, Bashful Blue and Celery Grosgrain Ribbon, Ticket Corner Punch
Outer Center Piece is 4,5x3 and Inside Center Piece is 4-1/4x2,5
The small piece depends on the sentiment, I usually stamp it and cut around it.
Simple enough??? Let me know if this helps.

7 days till vacation, its getting real...Packing starts tomorrow.

Have a great day!

I did not have much time to play today and it's late again, so I am posting the card I could not upload yesterday. I will try to make something extra tomorrow.
With the big vacation coming already next week I am trying to get everything organized before we go, so time at this point is precious but I will try.
This card was made with scraps of paper I had laying around. Was a quick one too and yet a cutie! So I say, I hope you like it too.

We have had a couple social events too, and today I experienced for the first time in my life an Arabic dinner at a Saudi friend's house, was fantastic. The food, the company, everything fabulous! I was very pleased. I have to comment on the chicken pie, it was the best I have had in many many years, I am a chicken pie fan and had made my own, but this one, I have to say much better than mine. The crust, the filling, everything, I already asked for the recipe. Oh sooooo good!Thank You Katan family, you were wonderful wonderful hosts.

8 days till vacation!!! Its getting exciting...

Have a great rest of the day!
