Still
cold and still some flurries coming down but nothing like Buffalo N.Y. area –
over 5’ of snow and they expect another 3’. Some people have not had their
streets plowed out since Monday night and with over 5’ of snow on them, it’s
going to take awhile to get them all done. Our furnace started getting noisier
so I called the repair company and they came today – the motor they replaced
last year failed but was under warranty! Thank goodness for that and thank
goodness I called before it died completely. This is no time of the year to
have no furnace.
Today’s
card is a change of pace from Christmas cards to a birthday card I made from left over
paper.
I
was cleaning up my work table and picked up this piece of black cardstock that
I had die cut the middle out of for another project. It was already embossed
around the edges of the cut out part. Mmmhhh I thought. What can I do with
this? Well, the first thing I did was die cut that bright yellow using the same
die and placing it in the negative space, taping it at the back to keep it in
place. Then I spotted some of that gorgeous bright and cheery striped paper and
decided to use it behind the cut out area. First I stamped the sentiment of
course in case I screwed up doing that….hey, it happens people! It needed something
else and I had a tiny bit of the striped paper left over so I die cut a piece
of it and the bright yellow with a Memory Box butterfly die. I love that that
die comes with the body and antennae for the butterfly. I glued the striped
butterfly on top of the plain one, just in the middle so the yellow just peaks
out and the top wings are free. Then I glued the entire thing to the light turquoise
card base.
That’s
all for a Thursday,
Cheers
Violet
