On another note, I would like to congratulate Kathie as the winner of my blog candy.

hi! yay for the bball superstar...nice treats. (i am making my comment in hopes of winning but also b/c i love to leave comments!) my fave GS cookie is Thanks-A-Lot.
It was tough to pick the winner....only ONE comment. (this is sarcasm BTW) I always knew that Kathie was my number one blog fan. I'm will happily give her my blog candy AND I can hand deliver it with a smile and my dog since she is dog sitting next week for me. She is THE BEST!
Now that business is taken care of let's get to the card! This is for Simple Card Sunday.
I really like that I was able to do a "simple" card that I am happy with. The base is a 4 1/2 square card of textured So Saffron. I used the SAB set called Yummy. You still have until the end of the month to order and receive this set for free with a $50 order. I stamped the little flourishes in Choc chip craft and let them sit to dry:) Then I used just classic chocolate chip for the sentiment and colored in the flower and vine using pumpkin pie and old olive markers, respectively. This was stamped on vanilla cardstock and cut out with my oval nestabilities. I then cut out a scalloped nestie using a DP that resembled Old Olive. I connected each flourish with paper piercing and THAT'S IT! I am proud that I was able to do something simple and not sweat.
I will be out of town next week, but I hope to work on a few things today and have some scheduled posts for while we are away.
Have a great Sunday!

This is beautiful! I was just thinking that so many of the ideas I've seen on blogs like yours are many many layers...and lots of work. I am trying to get new people to stamp, so simple is the way to go!! But, i know it's hard to achieve sometimes!
Thanks for all you share Nikki!
And, I love the polka dot bknd and your new look!
