SC BFF trio crt520×338 

Hello everyone!    Raise your hand if you need to add some new items to your card stash!  {See my raised hand?!  Yes, it’s up there.}   I’ve gone back to the easy basics for this trio.

SC BFFtrio saffdots 235×300Have you guessed what “BFF” represents?  Bloggers and/or forum participants will recognize it as

‘Best Friends Forever’.   I  believe my BFF’s of too-many-to-admit-years will love the silent reference!  As another idea, you might use your group’s own term of endearment for your version!  No matter what, these are easily snapped out by just reversing the sizes of coordinating papers upon a same-sized card base of 4.25″ X 5.5″.

Tex’s Tip:  Remember … for your ‘stash’, KISS … Keep It Simple.  It’s easy to create ‘ahead‘ with a basic layout recipe, coordinating papers, and at least one common element to be shared across the stash, such as the monogram I’ve used.

    What fun little cards! I’m trying to be good this year by using my stash than buying. So far I’m doing OK. Hopefully, I’ll be OK after CHA :-{}

    sometimes simple is the way to go. These are great. I have a Just Rite set I need to use more often.
