We had a somewhat overcast day all day yesterday. But it was bright and fun inside the Stamp, Ink, Paper Store and Scrap-A-Latte! Renee had her cookie exchange and it was a good time! My Parents stopped by and picked up some of the chocolate that Cara makes for Daniel and had some of the cookies that I asked my friend Melissa to make! My Grandmother always made Coconut Wheaties and they have always been my favorite! They were also the winner of the cookie exchange! They tasted just like my Grandmother’s, even my Dad agreed! Melissa also gave my scarf that she made for me yesterday! I LOVE it! Here is a quick pic of me wearing it…
I love the colors and it’s an infinity scarf, fits around my neck twice perfectly! You can also see that the scaffolding is still up! Will it ever go away?! Today I have the new release from Lawn Fawn coming as well as a few goodies from My Favorite Things! đŸ˜€
The card front for today’s card has been sitting on my desk for almost a month so I thought that it was about time I completed the card! I took a piece of Lemon Lime Card Stock and used the Lawn Fawn String of Lights Lawn Cuts to cut out the negatives of the lights. I then cut the string from a piece of Black and the tops of the bulbs from Silver Glitter Paper. My greeting is from the Lawn Fawn Merry Messages Photopolymer Stamp Set and is stamped in Black Licorice. The sparkles around the lights are from the same set and are heat embossed in Hero Arts Silver Embossing Powder. I adhered the string and silver bulb tops to the card with Multi-Matte Medium and then adhered a piece of Acetate with E-Z Runner to the back. Next I created wells for the sequins with 3M Foam Tape and filled them with Pretty Pink Posh Raspberry, Pansy Purple, Lemon Drop, Cobalt and Pumpkin Sequins. All that was left to do was adhered the card base of Neenah Solar White 110lb Card Stock to the back and the card is finished! I think that it’s a very festive card that will go to someone special! I hope that you like today’s card! Thank you for starting your week off with a visit to the Blog! Have a merry Monday! đŸ™‚
