Quick and Easy Squares

Today's trio of cards were another attempt to use up some scrap DSP laying around. I had a ton of smaller peices of DSP (too small for a card layer), but didn't want to throw them out. I found a great repeated shape design on Pinterest and modified it for my cards. I simply die cut three squares and adhered them to a piece of slightly larger cardstock. That attached to the card base and stamped with a simple sentiment created a trio of quick and easy cards. 

Mint Macaron Variant:

Watermelon Wonder Variant: Notice my boo-boo? This one will probably go into the trash, but I wanted you to see how changing the colors and patterned paper really change up the card.

• Stamps: Better Together; Happy Happenings
• Inks: Basic Black; Watermelon Wonder
• Cardstock: Pretty Petals DSP; Pacific Point; Carried Away DSP; Mint Macaron; Tasty Treats DSP; Watermelon Wonder; Whisper White

A recap of last month’s goals:

• April PL Pages -- Fail. I haven't touched the Project Life albums in months now...
• June Memory Planner Pages -- Success! Right under the wire, but i got them finished.
• July and August Classes and Events -- 50% success. I got July scheduled out, but completely dropped the ball on August.
• Start curating ideas of birthday party -- Success! I started a Pinterest board and pinned a ton of ideas. I also created a shopping list on Amazon.
• July's cards and plan for August -- Success! I finished my cards, started on August's cards, and made a plan for the rest of August.

August's goals:

• Plan out SU Bingo for September -- I scheduled my next bingo event for September 2nd. Need to nail down my plans for make n takes and prizes.
• Finish August's cards -- I have like 8 more to do including the stamp club projects.
• Plan out at least two kids' crafts (possibly one meetup event) -- I think Arthur's finally ready for some simple craft projects. We might even invite some friends over to play with us.
