Two great cards

Today I have two great cards to share. Julia Aston is a former member of our design team and she made these for our HSN debut back in February. I have made it clear that I love Julia's style. It's really unlike any of our other designers.  I have a hard time pin pointing why I say that, I think it's because it's vintage-looking, but her designs are uniquely Julia's. I miss her!

This "Thinking of You" card breaks out of the traditional 4 x 6 mold – it's long and rectangular. The pinwheel offset to the left and the "thinking of you" sentiment is balanced perfectly. I love how the Rosetta stamp is featured so prominently. I am also enjoying the scalloped pattern paper and the lace ribbon. And, you know I love the blue and yellow! (GO BLUE)

Julia also created this "she who has the most shoes wins" card. (A great one to send to a friend for a note!) This card has an antique quality, the color of the paper does that. The way she's layered and framed the papers using her Spellbinders Nestabilities brings in a professional element to the card. And the crinkled bow adds a fun touch.

Let us know what you think of these cards today!
