Get Better




I cannot believe how stinkin' hot it has been! I hate the heat so much. I have been in the house with the ACs cranked for what seems like decades! The only good thing about it is that I have been able to do alot of crafting and blogging. I made this card this morning for my neighbor. She just had heart surgery. I really love the way it came out. I bought this paper a while ago and have been hoarding it. I don't know why I buy paper. I end up collecting it instead of using it! lol.

Here are the details...
Cricut: Create A Critter-umbrella-cut at 3 1/4
Paper: Nikki Sivils-It's Raining, It's Pouring-:"Rain, Rain, Go Away", "May Flowers" , DCWV- Black Cardstock
Punch: S.U. Large Tag Punch
Others: Recollections Eyelet and Gummy Dot Stickers, hemp, 3D Dots (for umbrella), Glossy Accents (for the rain on the umbrella), Safmat Self Adhesive Printing Film (for the sentiment I made in Word)

Here are the challenges...
Craft Your Passion #67 "Use Text"
Lollipop Crafts "Anything Goes"
Ooh La La #84 "Tag It"
Color Throwdown #151 "Rainbow"

    Wow, so loving that bit of the Nikki Sivils papers! They go perfectly with that cute umbrella. Be sure to give Julie an email if you would like her to show it off on the Nikki Sivils blog http://thetuckerwolekclan.blogspot.com/
    She is always looking for creations to show off.
