Thank You and U Rock Cards

Tonight, the kids come back from their 6-day trip with my parents to Washington DC. While I enjoyed the peace and lack of activity, I miss them and can't wait to see them. This weekend I started the very daunting task of cleaning out the office closet and reorganizing my craft supplies. I started with the cardstock and printed paper. Then moved to inks and embellishments. I got about half way done and will continue working on it as I can. I organized all my card stock by color groups (blues, reds, greens, etc.) and sorted through the scraps into the same groups in stackable boxes and. I had tons of scraps loitering all over the place. Every time I would finish a project, I'd stash the scraps where ever and now I have tried to group them all together. Judging by the amount of scraps I have, I shouldn't have to cut into a fresh piece of cardstock for a while. After sorting through the cardstock and papers, I was playing around with a few pieces and made these 2 cards last night.

I had the silver "thank you" sticker in the stash of embellishments that I came across in one of my bins and had the CB embossed background on the silver scrap so I tried to incorporate them into a card. I added the red because I didn't like the look of just the black and silver. The punches were also from previous projects that I incorporated onto the card.

For the guitar U Rock card, I just was thinking about a thank you card for the kids to give my mom and dad to thank them for the trip and was trying to come up with something on the young side. I think my parents rock for taking the kids on the trip so that is why I chose that sentiment. I guess Carrie and Steven could use the black and silver one if they want or they each can chose to use one.
