As you may have noticed, I have been playing with my blog backgrounds for the past couple weeks. I keep going back and forth between wanting to have a cute background and not. (Thanks Kimberly for your sweet comment about the background I had up during the past few days.)
I decided that the backgrounds I was playing with, although cute, were too bold and distracting, so…I am going to leave the background white until I can figure out a way to make it more subtle.

I know it is a little early to be thinking about Christmas but as many of my club members mentioned last month, now really is the time to get started on your Christmas cards so that you aren’t stressing out at the last minute. (I know I never do that. LOL!) Sorry I didn’t get…
Here is a sneak peak at a new paper pack from CTMH called Boom-Di-Ada. It is sooo cute. It is not made up of typical summer colors, but it is a beautiful kit. I used the new Boom-Di-Ada paper pack, a new stamp set called Be True, and one clear sparkle to create this simple…

I know this is not my own design, but I just LOVED this card in the Inspirations Brochure and had to recreate it. I did make a few minor changes to my card, but overall, it’s pretty much a complete lift. LOL! It is a 5″ x 7″ card and was so quick and easy…
Hope you find a happy medium for your blog. I just spruced mine up a bit with a kit from Shabby Miss Jenn. I think I like it and may have learned enough from the tutorial to try to do something on my own. (now THAT’S a scary thought). *Ü*
Yes, I was going to tell you about SMJ, but Jeanne beat me to it. They do have some really nice blog kits for sale there. I went to that website you posted a while back and I thought that the pages were nice, but that the scale was off a bit. So, I made my own using the digital kit of my choosing. It was super easy and I can change it to suit whatever holiday or season I want.
I hope you find something you like!
I can’t believe I just read this post!!! I am surfing blogs with the same decision in mind. I think I am going back to white!

Hi Lisa!
I like a plain background myself. I think when the backgrounds are too busy they compete with the artwork. Love your blog! BTW, I left you something on my blog!
Happy Stamping!
