Thankful and a little Blog Candy!





I made another card for  ODBD Stamping In Time: On Assignment Challenge(SNTODBD39)! The assignment is to recycle.  I was cleaning my crafting space and found this butterfly on the floor that I know I used on  a card before.  Oh, dear!   Anyway, it works great for this challenge. I am choosing to recycle it!

I am using Chupa's weekly sketchbook 20.  Look....no bow!  I kept my card pretty much clean and simple!  Trying to follow the sketch was not easy. I so wanted to add a bow!     I did sew on it, rock and roll, added some glitter, and used the stamp a ma jig for the perfect placement of my "Thankful" word.   All in all still pretty CAS for me!    I am using ODBD Butterfly single, butterfly die, Vintage Border Background, the newly released Large Scrapbook Words, and ODBD Exclusive Elegant Ovals Spellbinder dies!  I am really enjoying these big words!  While the title says scrapbook words, I love them on cards, too!  Also, look how beautifully the Vintage Border Background coordinates with the SU pattern paper.



 
I have a little blog candy offer for you!  I am using the new SU In Color Island Indigo on my card!  I just got my little order a few days ago.  I bought two  paper packs.  I got the NEW In Color Collection and the First Edition Specialty dsp!  I always cut my 12 x 12 papers into 6 x6 squares.  I thought I would give a 6X6 section of both packs as some blog candy as a little thank you to all my blog supporters.  That is 64 sheets of 6 X 6 pattern papers.  For this little chunk of candy,  I will also throw in a few yards of some hugs snugs seam binding.  All you have to do is leave me a comment here on this post!  You have until 6pm Wednesday,  July 27th!  I will announce the winner next Thursday on the new ODBD Stamping In Time Challenge post here on my blog!   


As always, thanks so much for stopping by!

  22. Love this card! The way you stamped the border and sentiment with two colors is beautiful. And your butterfly is so pretty. All I ever find on my floor is dust and weird shaped little remnants of paper :)
