Welcome to Keep It Simple Saturday (K.I.S.S.)! Today I have a little Smooch for you - Summer Smooches Designer Series Paper that is!
This clean and crisp card was created by fellow demonstrator, Julie Smith. Isn't it pretty! Julie used the Labels Framelits dies to accent her focal piece which she "fussy cut" from the Summer Smooches Designer Series Paper. The Adorning Accents Edge with the marker dots is just the right touch to set off the Summer Smooches Designer Series Paper on the inside of the card! Thanks Julie!
The Summer Smooches Sneak Peek promotion ends this Monday, April 30th!
Check Out Summer Smooches Promotional Details!
Thanks for checking in today. Have a fun and simple weekend!

This is the anniversary card I made for my hubby, Bret. Today we celebrate 15 years of marriage!
The card features the retiring stamp set, Uncharted Territory. I love this stamp set and am so sorry to see it go! I love lighthouses.
The card First Edition Designer Series Paper, crimped Baja Breeze and focal image are all distressed using the retiring Distressing Essentials Kit.
I got the idea for this card from Cibele Glazer.
Ok, cheesy photo time!
Here is my hubby and me on April 26, 1997. That is one big "up do"!
Marriage IS Uncharted Territory and I am glad to be on this amazing adventure with my husband Bret whom God blessed me with!
PS - Yesterday was my son, Wyatt's birthday. Check out the card I made him over on my Facebook page!!

Would you like to add a littler personalization to your Home Decor? Do you have a Stampin' Up! Designer Series Paper Assortment that you absolutely love? Well, put those two together!
I have a Makeover for you today. As with any makeover, you need a "Before" shot!
The light switch plate cover in my stamp studio. Plain white. Are you ready?
TA-DA! My Timeless Portrait custom switch plate cover! How fun is that?! My son, Hunter's first response was "WOW". Now, if this makes a 12 year old, pre-teen say "WOW", it must be striking! LOL! But it's super easy.
How To Alter A Switch Plate Cover:
That's it! It's that easy!
I just love how this switch plate fits in with the rest of my Stamp Studio Decor. Is there a current Designer Series Paper Assortment that would fit perfectly with a portion of your home decor? Be sure to look as many of these will likely be retiring soon!

Thanks for stopping by today. Have a great week.

Who doesn't like a makeover? Even a paper crafting makeover is lots of fun!
Recently, my niece gave birth to a beautiful baby boy named Aiden. When she posted this picture of his nursery, I instantly knew what I would be doing for his baby card.
What do you think of the makeover? The letters were die cut from the Naturally Serif Sizzlit Decorative Strip and adhered to frames of Early Espresso, Marina Mist and Lucky Limeade card stock. The letter frames are "hung" on the card with Early Espresso 1/8" Taffeta Ribbon.
Ribbon Tip: That ribbon is actually Very Vanilla 1/8" Taffeta Ribbon that was dyed using Early Espresso Classic Ink and a Sponge Dauber. That way you always have the color you need to coordinate!!
The card is a 3" x 6" Whisper White base with Perfect Polka Dot textured layer.
Now, you could enlarge this card concept and frame it to make a wall hanging as a gift for someone. I would have done that...but, obviously, Aiden already has a wall hanging. ;o)
Glad you stopped by today!
