Timeless joy
Tonight I decided to tackle two challenges, the new MFT sketch challenge and the ways to use it challenge which was to use hoarded brads.
I HOARD lots of different things; brads, paper, ribbon, my pretties kit, hodge podge hardware……..lots of stuff. Sometimes I buy things and they are so pretty I deam them too special to part with. Im sure you do that too.
When I started this card, it had been a few hours since I had read the challenge rules and only remembered to use something that was hoarded. So my first question was WHAT am I picking? LOL! I based the colors off the two ribbons and then decided to throw in some red for a POP! It was at the end that I realized that I was supposed to use a brad as my inspiration….duh! So I threw in one of my large ice rhinestone brads in the center of the heart.
The card front is cut halfway down so that the layered rectangles are half on the cardfront and half off……neat, huh? The layout is from the MFT sketch challenge this week.
Last night was the release of Papertrey’s latest and greatest…………did you see the new sets? Did you get anything? I got some new sets, most importantly ‘Spiral Bouquet’!!!! I cannot WAIT to get it! I LOVE it oh so much!
Tomorrow will be a super happy fun mail day for me! I have my new Gina K coming, some candles I ordered from Illuminations (I had a wicked deal of $15 off $60 or more and buy 2 get 1 free!) and my free SU! set!!!!! And tonight SU! will release the S/S preview catalog online for demo’s only. I’ll report back tomorrow on what I see! Im so excited!
I hope your week is going well, my wrist is finally feeling better! I should be back tomorrow with something special!
