Here is my layout...Be sure to click if you want to enlarge and view details. 

My Everyday Adventure card kit is getting kinda low on cards to journal on because I love it so much and have used it for a long time!  So this week, I used the Project Life Grid Cards and the Everyday Adventure Accessory Pack to create my own cute cards!

Here they are...

I used a 4x6 title card and the Project Life Framelits to create my labels for the dates.  I love those Framelits and need to use them more!

Both of these cards started as a blank grid card and stickers from the Accessory Pack were added to make them CUTE!

I love this laser-cut arrow card!  It's so much fun!  

Up close of some of my other cards this week.

I love the look of washi tape on the bottom edge of the cards!  There are quite a few stickers that you can tear one edge of to create that washi look!

Stamp Set Focus: Starburst Sayings

There are so many different things that you can create with just one stamp set!  The thing I love most about Stampin' Up! is that they sell most of their stamps in sets!  So you have multiple images that coordinate and you can create SO MANY different cards with just one set!

Today over at SSINKspiration we are working with the stamp set, Starburst Sayings...

And here is my card...

This "Oh Happy Day" stamp is so great for so many different occasions and when you use masculine colors, this stamp makes a great masculine card!

Today I paired it with the Tape It Stamp Set to create a little of my own washi tape.  Then I added in some Candy Dots and Sequins!
