These are true snippets card. I had snippets of this DP that were exactly enough to cover the two cards. The border is a K &Co which is my VOS item of the day.
Card 23
The owl ribbon was bought in a sweet little papercrafting shop in Whitehaven, Cumbria. My cousin's dear wife told me about the shop and took me down to have a look about. I ended going back three times that week to continue looking and shopping. It was one of those shops that had a lot of lovely, hidden treasures.
Card 24
My married daughter had a giggle over this card as soon as she saw it...she could hardly stop giggling long enough to ask me why I wrecked the card by having the sweet little owls poop out their birthday greeting! hahahahaha
I never noticed that when I made the card but now that she has pointed it out...hahahahahaha She then kindly told me that she loves owls so much that I can give her this card for her birthday...that she wouldn't mind the sentiment...cuz then she could show all her girlfriends and giggle some more! Sigh...
I have really been enjoying my 50 card challenge as I have been creating more cards than my usual slowpoke self. Some are inky, some are coloured images, some are easy peasy, some are not! My finished cards baskets are filling up and that is a good thing (as Martha would say).
****************These are cards #23 and card 24 of 50. I went on a consumables spending freeze until I made 50 cards (Sook Wang tape and heavy weight card stock exempt).***************

ReplyDeleteYou're the queen of snippets, MaureenM, and I must confess when I first started card making and read about all those people being proud of having used up their scraps and even seeing challenge themes about it I didn't quite understand why it was even worth mentioning. Now I do!, as a paper addict I REALLY do! Adorable little owls and love how you spiked up the flowers with bling!
