Sun Kissed Card and Notepad

Happy New Year!

I hope everyone had a fun New Year's Eve last night!  I can't believe it's 2014 already!  Time is going by so quickly!

Well, it's Wednesday, and that means I have a little inspiration to show you from Heartfelt Creations!  This week I have a a simple card and matching junior size notepad I made using the Sun Kissed Collection from last May.  I love making these covered notepads for gifts and they are so easy to do too!  Here is the front of both.

This shows the inside of the notepad.

Here's a closer look at the card.  A very simple card to make.   I just used a floral corner from one of the beautiful designer papers and added a sentiment on the bottom!  So easy and so beautiful!

I hope you enjoyed my projects today.  Be sure to visit the Heartfelt Creations Blog to see all the beautiful creations by the designers this week!

I'm submitting this to the following challenges:

Word Art Wednesday Challenge #113 - Anything Goes.

Thank you for stopping by!

Blessings!
