Thank You!

Just a quick card today.  I had this one sketched out on my new favorite app, Paper 53, and I thought it was time to make it a reality.  The plan changed a bit while I was making the card but having a plan made the card so much easier to start!  Here's my sketch:

 

I sketched it out while I was waiting on my kindergartner to finish a part of his lesson one morning.  I find having my iPad around with the Paper 53 app has really helped me capture my ideas.  So, here's my card:

Stamps:  To The Point, Free Thanks Stamp (Avery Elle)
Inks:  Pumpkin, Lido, Seattle (Amuse Studio)
Paper: Fizz, Fog, White (Avery Elle)
Misc:  Tab (Studio Calico Card Kit), Punch Label Maker

 
So, how do you capture your creative inspirations?  Hope you have a great day!

    I love what you did today! I'm a big fan of stamping geometric backgrounds:) And I love that little sliver of gray around the stamped panel!

    I'll have to check out that app! My current system (if scraps of paper and post-its count as a system;) is terrible!

      I used to use the post-it "system" also! I had them scattered everywhere. I tried a notebook but I always forgot to bring it with me. With the app, my iPad is my notebook so when I'm sitting in a doctor's office or watching the kids play and inspiration strikes, it's right there!

      I guess I never really thought of them as sketches, just as my little jots and scribbles but I guess they actually are. Hmmm...who knew! ;)

      Hi, Lalo! The app is Paper 53. I'm pretty sure it's free but if you want to add extra brushes, etc it costs money. I figure for just my random doodles, all I need is the pen and colors it comes with.

    What an awesome app! I kind of like the sketch itself with the fun squiggles of colour as a design all it's own! The card is really cool. Love the colours and the awesome sentiment tabs!
