Happy Friday to you! I am so thankful for this day, you don't even know! Or maybe you do! I am also very excited to announce that I am continuing on in the Gallery Idol competition! So so thankful for all of those who voted for me, you are the best! Though I am stoked to be moving on, I will be away from my crafty space Saturday and Sunday and need to complete my card TODAY! EEKS, no pressure! Luckily I have an a-mazing husband who plans to take the kiddo shopping and various other places, so I can craft. THANKS DARLIN'!
So, you are probably wondering why I am popping in here if I have so much to do? Well, I had started this card the other day with Kim's adorable Sugar Rush set and hadn't finished it. When I saw CAS-ual Friday's challenge to make a card with something sweet, I knew what to do! Check it...
Starting with some patterned paper from October Afternoon's Modern Homemaker, I punched squares and stamped various images from the set, distressed the edges and then adhered them down to a cream card base.
I stamped my sentiment, added some twine-threaded aqua buttons and added a big twine bow!
Now, I am off to brainstorm some ideas for clever uses of die cuts! Wish me luck my friends, this could get ugly. Have a great day!
Lindsay
