Here is card number 4 out of the 6 swaps I did for SoCal Stamp Mania. I don't usually use "Spring" colors, but I thought this paper was just so pretty!
I like to recycle layouts. Why no reuse what you like?? If you take a peek at a couple days back, this layout is the same as my Happy Silhouettes card. It is just flipped 180 degrees.
I consider myself to be pretty uncreative so I get my ideas from SplitCoastStampers and Stampin' Up!. I took this layout from one of the sketch challenges on SCS. I don't know that I've ever really come out with a layout that was all my own. The closest I've done to making my own layout is mixing up certain elements of several card sketches. Good thing I have SplitCoast and Stampin' Up! SU makes it easy to coordinate my colors and SCS helps me to layout my cards.
Here's the recipe for this card:
Stamps: Celebrate Everything
Cardstock: So Saffron, Pretty in Pink, Certainly Celery
Ink: Pretty in Pink
Designer Series Paper: Spring Fling
Ribbon: Certainly Celery Grosgrain
Accessories: Gold Brads
Tools: Paper Piercer, Distresser Tool

I think I am also pretty un creative, so it is nice to hear a blogger admit to a little bit of CASEing for inspiration.

I love this card - the colors and layout are so fun and easy to demo! I am also a CASEr - would totally be lost without SU, SCS and the blogging world!! So don't consider yourself alone in the boat!! LOL!

This is so pretty. I like the way you used the same layout, just flipped 180 degrees.
