More thank-you cards.

It's Thursday and we're on the road to Portland, Oregon. We're taking a big vacation this summer so we aren't doing anything extravagant for Spring Break, but thought a little trip to Oregon would be nice. It's only a 6-hour drive - piece of cake.

So I've got some more thank-you cards today. This first one is similar to yesterday's cards with the Prima papers & chipboard and Verve sentiment. I've got a little Studio G Glitter Glue in the center of my rose too.

I really like this second card because I've used my least favorite Papertrey Ink cardstock color: Melon Berry. I find it to be a little drab and just really hard to match. But I was able to work it with some Pink Paislee patterned papers, Prima chipboard, and coordinating Melon Berry ribbon - and I do like the final product.

What about you - doing anything fun this week?

I really love your first card, the vintage feel is so warming! GREAT ribbon!
I don't think I own the Melon Berry colour but do own some buttons. I am not sure I've used them before though...lol

Hope you guys have a fantastic time on your get away! Drive safe! You're right 6 hours is easy peasy ;) Plus your kids travel so well!

Hum, you know I've never had any Berry Melon. I do love what you did with it! It doesn't look drab in the least! Fab work as always!

All your cards yesterday and today are definitely you - love 'em! You work wonders w/paper, even if you think it's drab. :D
Have a great time in Portland!
