Okay, enough of that. Time to move on to a card. I was in
the mood to make some cards one day last week when it was actually warm enough
to spend some time in the basement, aka the lower studio. Here’s one I came up. I seldom use sketches and I'm not sure why. I guess I just like to wing it.
I’m loving this shiny paper I picked up at the thrift store.
It is all 6x6 so trimmed it down to 5” square to fit on the card bases I had on
hand. The strips cut off are featured on other cards. I’m too frugal to throw
paper away. In fact, the two polka dot strips were left over from another card
so I added the dark orange ¼” strips, which is the back of one of these cards, between
and at the ends of them. Then die cut letters with a Cuttlebug alphabet die were added.
Then I die cut the butterflies with a Stampin’ Up small die, adding the small
polka don’t one on top of the orange one and glued it on with a dimensional
glue dot. It needed something else so I added a small gem to the butterfly. A
simple but elegant card.
The Don’t Bug Me quilt is now layered with the batting and
backing and ready to be quilted….which is where I’m off to now.
Cheers

What a proud momma you must be! Good for her being on the radio for her thesis. The card is so warm and sunny (with the weather would follow suit!) Thanks for the kind blog comments, I can't believe the "drama" there today, oh well, what are you gonna do right? Have fun working on the quilt:)
