Project #8

I know, I come up with the best titles. I don’t know how anyone could resist after seeing such an awesome title.

My little family and I have a lot of people to thank these days. Between watching our kids, working on our house, and letting us stay at their house while it get fixed- I have some thank you catch up work to do. I started on this card last night while my husband did side job work and I waited for the dryer. I then had a hard time going to bed because I couldn’t stop thinking about it. I turned out almost as well as I imagined it…almost.

I used Elmer the Elephant. He’s one of my favorite High Hopes Stamps. Very versatile. The stripe paper is from Daisy D’s and the green circle paper is from Scenic Route. I used my fancy new (I bought it before starting my project challenge) Fiskars Effervescence border punch (love it), my Swiss Dots cuttlebug folder, and my mom’s Mickey Font Cartridge (shhh, I’ve had it for months). Thanks mom!

I’m entering this card into the following challenges-

High Hopes- spacey colors (purple, blue, green)

Stamp with Fun- sketch

AIFactory Challenge- 5 embellishments total (I used 5 on the front, no one else shows the inside of their cards so I think that’s what they mean…I hope)

And my own personal challenge- don’t use any white
