Little Red Wagon #92, Daring Cardmakers, and Cardabilities #36

Some times, things just all come together the way you want them to, and when you are finished, you have THAT feeling!  You know the one, the one where your heart skips a beat when you look at the finished product, and you know it's just exactly how you had pictured in your mind . . . or maybe even a little better!  That's the feeling I got when I finished this card today . . . just a bit of joy bubbling up from inside.  Don't you love it!!!

The card I'm talking about is for three challenges . . .

• Little Red Wagon #92 - Put a critter on your project
• Daring Cardmakers - Cute as a Button
• Cardabilities #36 - sketch . . .

And here is my card based on the challenges . . .

• Patterned paper (digital) - Design House - Gidget - Freebie
• Pink solid paper (digital) - Same as patterned paper
• Ruler twill tape - Olive Grace - Quilt Shop - purchased at Country Living Fair 2010
• Vintage buttons, cotton twine - my stash
• Stickles 'platinum' - Ranger Inks

Tools Used:

Cricut Cuts:

• Pink gingham paper - Walk In My Garden cartridge, card1 set at 5"

Other Info:

• Digital papers.  Well, what can I say other than I barely know what I'm doing, but I have a small collection now . . . a few I bought and others I got free.  I download the file, open it up, edit the image in Picasa, print in the size I want (the gingham paper I cut at 8x10") onto 110 lb. white cardstock.  Then I use it!  I just don't think of it often enough, but when I saw this pink gingham, I had a feeling it would match the thread in the image, and it did work wonderfully.  Don't be afraid to try . . . go for it!!

And that is my project.  I love how it came out!  Isn't the little mouse just adorable?  Thanks so much for visiting today, and I hope to see you back again soon!  Blessings, Becky
