A day for myself....

I am so excited about today! I am planning on spending the majority of the day in my stamping space! I have PLENTY of other things I should be doing but I have missed stamping so much!! I am creating while my kids are watching a movie. I am sure they will be over to help me soon! I decided to join a few of my favorite challenges too with this fun little card I created. The colors are from Dynamic Duos #77, the layout from Freshly Made Sketches #110, and I added some chevrons for the Friday Mashup #134 challenge.

   

 Since this was my first card I had made in a while I decided to keep things very simple. I liked the Bold colors this week and thought the Positively Chevron background stamp would be great to use with the color for a bit of a retro feel.
 The sentiment was from the Regarding Dahlia stamp set and I added a Candy Dot as a special touch. I used my Chevron embossing folder also for the Real Red square. I loved this layout so much that I decided to do birthday card too with a little bling as well.
Thanks for stopping by to take a peek at my creations!
