Just Because
Today, I am sharing with you a little piece of what brings me joy. Flowers in an array of colors brings me joy. Flowers just make me happy. Do flowers make you happy? 
As someone who leans towards being simple I also find great joy in a beautiful background stamp. The Catherine Pooler Designs, Climbing Flower Background Stamp Set is gorgeous. I stamped the background in several different colors using Catherine Pooler Designs Inks. The background really is the focal point, so I added a simple sentiment and attached the panel to a colored cardbase. This is such an easy and fun way to create a bunch of cards. In a matter of no time you will be sending them out in the mail and bringing joy to others.

Kind thanks for shopping with me. I appreciate your support.
Sometimes, simple is best. I often tend to overthink my designs, which is preventing me from creating and enjoying the process. Thanks for the inspiration, Tracie!
