Hello, friends! Popping in really quickly to share some last minute cards that undoubtedly took me longer to write about than to make. Yes, you read that correctly. I had a bunch of packages to mail today, and with less than 30 minutes before the Post Office closed I realized I was a few cards short. Yikes! After a moment of panic, I pulled out a never-been-used stamp set of mine - Concord & 9th's Lots of Blots. (At least I don't think I've ever used it! My memory is pretty terrible these days, but it looks brand new to me.) I grabbed a couple inks, hoped the colors would work, and quickly stamped some cards. And then I liked them so much that when I got home from the post office I made a few more, so next time I'm prepared. :) I really, really get a whole lot of happiness from a simply stamped card. PS I'm a little addicted to this love note sized card. What is that you ask? It's a mini size card measuring 2.75" x 4.25" when folded that fits perfectly inside Concord & 9th's Love Note Envelopes. They are tiny and cute and super duper quick to make....win, win, win!
Though I wish I had had time to add in Darnell's optional "camouflage" technique for NBUS #9 (which I am thrilled to be able to enter), time truly did not allow it. Interestingly enough, though, I used that camouflage technique on my card for last week's NBUS Challenge. What are the odds? And I have to let you know that the NBUS item I am most excited about using for this project was my Lawn Fawn stamp shammy. I just ordered one, and I am in LOVE! No more leftover baby wipe fuzzies for me. My stamping world just got a whole lot happier with this shammy. It's amazing. Oh, and I'm also linking this up to the Simon Says Anything Goes Challenge. Yay! Okay, now I really need to head to bed. Thanks so much for stopping by! Hope you are enjoying your weekend!
I love these Lindsey! Nothing like a fabulous one layer card.

Your little note cards are perfection, Lindsey! Especially because you showcased the word "Enjoy" which is awesome for an enclosure card! And I love the colors you used! Thank you so much for playing in my NBUS Challenge #9! Thank you, too, for your kind get well message! I'm doing great today and hope you are, too! Hugs, Darnell
