Two quick cards

I didn't think I'd be back on this weekend, but had to take part in two more challenges I found while looking at so many beautiful stamping blogs out there!  (Yep, my husband is figuring out our taxes, and I'm rubber-stamp-blog hopping.  Sounds like all is right with the world.  This will come back to haunt me, you know.)

Anyway, I saw the SPCC color challenge on Melissa's blog.  Loved her card!  And like her, I also say "ACK!" when I see those bold, bright colors.  As soon as I saw the colors for the challenge, I thought citrus...summery lemons, limes and oranges.  You know, tropical drink garnishes...but I digress.  I had to pull out a bright green for the lime...and it's Citrus Leaf ink from CTMH...the absolute last ink pad on the bottom of the tall stack!!  You can tell I never use that one!  This card probably took me 5 minutes...which would also qualify it for the KISS (keep it simple, sweetie!) challenge at Pals Paper Arts.  But I have another 5 minute one for that!

This is a "leftover" from an idea I had earlier this week that I used for an FTL layout.  I stamped extra mailboxes thinking I'd do something with them.  Well, that time is NOW!  I "simply" stamped and colored the mailbox, added a sentiment and a ribbon (and I wasn't even sure I wanted the ribbon...but then it seemed to bottom-heavy) and mounted on a black panel.  Very happy with the result...and the fact that it was KISS-able!! 

Enjoy the rest of your weekend..."sending you smiles!"
