First off, thanks to everyone who left sweet comments about my Gallery Idol card. And, if you haven't voted yet, would you vote for me? I would love to have the chance to compete again next week!
Click on my "girl on fire" card over at the right ------------------------------------------------>
Voting ends on Thursday!
I thought I'd join in the fun over at the Lawnscaping blog - where we're asked to use patterned paper.
The patterned paper treatment on my card was inspired by *this card* of Nichole Heady's. I adhered 2 different patterned papers, wrong sides together and flipped the one over to reveal a fun little scene.
I used "critters in the forest," "gnome sweet gnome," and the grass from "critters in the 'burbs" to create the scene.
I may be absent for a few days again - we're taking our son for minor ear surgery in the morning. His daddy took him out for a late-night happy meal at McD's (since he won't be able to eat or drink starting at midnight all the way until it's all done and over with) - which means that right now, Thomas is happy as a clam :)
Thanks for peeking!
Holy smokes, this is awesome! I saw the little thumbnail pop up in my email and I had to come to your blog right away! this is amazing (and way better than Nichol's in my opinion)! Love the papers you chose, the critters, the whole thing! LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE! I totally must try this!!!! LOVE IT! Thank you for playing along with Lawnscaping for this challenge. You knocked it out of the park!
