Wednesday - Cards I Love. . . .


I overlooked this paper pack for some time. I just love the cheery, retro feel of the color combinations. I challenge you to look at the Designer Series Paper from a new perspective. Look at the ones you have never paid attention to, and see if there is something there you could use. I got stuck because this was designed to work with the build a bear items. I never considered it since I don't really care for the build a bear line. Silly me. This paper is FAB!

Paper: Poppy Parade CS #119793, Whisper White CS #100730, Pawsitively Prints II DSP #117396

Wednesday - Cards I Love. . . .

I CASE'd this card. Do you blame me? It is so cute! I don't recall the name of the gal that created it, but I did read her very clever trick for the measuring tape....... she cut a strip from grid paper and inked it with so saffron. It worked like a charm. I did the tape measure a day ahead just to make sure the ink was absorbed and dry. Dars, couldn't help but think of you when I made this one.
