Snippety Snippety!

A really quick card from me today, made with a few one inch square scraps of designer paper.  No scrap of paper is ever really too small to throw away, is it crafters?!  Obviously then this is a card for Headteacher Di over at the Snippets Playground.

Here's what I made (sorry about the bad light in the photo - it's the best I could get):


Take four squares 1" big.  Round a couple of the corners on each.  Adhere to a white card panel, embossed with the Perfect Polka Dots embossing folder.  Layer onto Blushing Bride card.  Stamp sentiment and cut into banner shape.  Stick edge to centre of inch squares and add a button.  Bob's your uncle!

Supplies
Stamps: Love and Laughter
Ink: Baja Breeze
Card: Whisper White and Blushing Bride
Paper: Twitterpated Designer Series Paper
Other: Twitterpated button in Baja Breeze, Perfect Polka Dots embossing folder and BigShot

I've been busy doing a whole load (7 hours!) of gardening for a lady today.  I met her when our church had a 'Faith in Action' weekend a couple of months ago.  My husband and I knocked on her door to see if there were any odd jobs we could do to help and it turned out that she was really struggling with her garden as she'd had a heart attack not too long ago.  I've been helping her get it back to a manageable state, and I've cleared a lot of wilderness today.  I sure do ache though there is a tremendous sense of job satisfaction when you see how much you've cleared!


Oh, I almost forgot a cat picture....



Thanks so much for visiting,

  26. Fabuolus Card Victoria! It does feel good to help your neighbors doesn't it. I do try to be of help to mine. Lately with Jim being ill they've been lucky to see me dashing in and out of the house and I'm afraid my own garden is in desperate need of help.
