Life Doesn’t Have to be Perfect …

Hello Stampin’ Friends,

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend.  It was cold, but we had sunshine … and I am grateful for that.  Life doesn’t have to be perfect to be wonderful.

I began with the “Retro Fresh” Designer Series paper.  The pattern I picked was so fun and colorful, I didn’t think I needed much else.

Since the edges are rounded on the little squares in the designer paper, I decided I wanted all my edges rounded too.  Since my “Envelope Punch Board” was already sitting on the table, I used the corner rounder from there.  I was a little leery about punching though the folded card, but it worked fine.  And trust me … it does so much more than punch corners!

To give it a more dramatic look, I cut out additional squares from the “Retro Fresh” designer paper … no measuring, I just count 4 x 4 blocks!  I popped those up using our Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I was so careful to line up the squares horizontally, that I didn’t notice that they were off vertically.  Did you? lol

The greeting is from the “Perfect Pennants” stamp set, I find it very versatile and have used it many times already.

Hope you enjoyed today’s post & quick card.

Have a marvelous Monday!
