This week, I decided to use an old Page Maps sketch that had lots of squares on it. I thought this would make for a clean and simple card, plus use up some of the retired DSP that is crowding my paper hopper! I decided at the last minute to give it a quilted look and used my square lattice embossing folder. Then I just added a few brads and I think it turned out pretty good!
My oldest DD even gave it her approval, although it does have a lot of purple in it, so it might just be the color talking...
I took the easy way out with the squares and used my punch. I know... it's probably not much faster than the trimmer, but I do love that I can line up the pattern when I use a punch. Not to mention that it validates my purchasing yet another punch... 'Yes, Dear... I really do need ALL of them!'
My Flashback items are the Cottage Wall DSP (ret) and pale plum cardstock (also retired).
Well, I am heading off to bed! Thanks for stopping in! Hope you have a wonderful weekend and happy crafting!

I love the quilted texture, the way you placed your squares and that you call your hubby "Dear" because I do too! This is a wonderful card Margaret & I know a gal who loves purple {you do too hehe} and this is guaranteed to please the recipient. LOVE IT!!! BTW, 1:30 am is workin' for your creative mojo. ;)
