Very Thankful

I love taking stamps that are meant for one sentiment and using them for another. I saw a really cute card on Andrea Walford's Blog and really wanted to re-create it. The only turtle stamp I have is the one from the Ronald McDonald Charities set Very Thankful, so I used that one. I created a stencil or mask of sorts out of scrap paper to help me make my cloudy background. I used Tempting Turquoise and Bashful Blue for the sky, that way you get a bit more definition and it looks nicer (and in my opinion more real).

Glitter and the Sweet Pea Felts are a great way to add a little something that makes the card (or scrapbook page) a whole lot better.

I hope you are not too sick of Valentines Day cards yet.

Until next time, Happy Scrappin'

Sweet Pea

I finally had a bit of time to myself today and I got immediately started on a card. I had new goodies dropped off yesterday by the wonderful "Yay Man" (what my son calls the UPS man) and I wanted to play with them.

I wasn't quite sure what I wanted to do, but I had a bit of a starting point in mind after seeing a card some what similar to this somewhere in the last two weeks. If the idea came from any of you I sincerely apologize, I did not even save the picture or name of the blog, so I can not give proper credit. I do remember that they used the stitched felt and did some faux stitching but that is really all I remember of it. Please leave me a comment here if this idea was yours so I can give you credit for the idea.

I also wanted to re-post the photos of the My Matryoshka card I did in Arizona. It looks so much nicer in proper lighting. I really love the new Scallop Trim border punch. It is so nice to be able to get a punch from the SAB offerings too. I mean really, who doesn't love FREE stuff, esp when it is this nice!!!





That's it for me today.... I am now working on supper for my boys and then I think we will be putting on a puppet show for Daddy.... we spent a good while today working on it while he was at work.

Until next time, Happy Scrappin'
