You used what?

Today began like most Wednesdays do. Wake up, eat breakfast, go to the bus stop, look at the sketch on Split Coast, throw in some laundry, unload the dishwasher, play dolls with my daughter. While playing Cinderella my eyes kept drifting to the tissue box in her room. I loved the flowers on it and the beautiful shades of lavendar. Yes, I have an illness...I'll use whatever I can to make a card! The tissue box was a little bent, so I added more bends and creases to it. In the picture it only looks bent at the top, but in real life it all flows. I'll be sending this card to someone who can appreciate that there's a used tissue box on their card. I don't want to scare anyone too much!

Side Dish Recipe Swap

This is one of my final recipe swaps before Christmas. I have so much fun making these recipe cards. But the best part is all of the wonderful recipe cards I've received. There are so many talented people that participate. I always love a day when I get my swaps in the mail. For this card I used this cheery paper from doodlebug designs. The cardstock is Bazzill. I printed the recipe on vellum, and attached that with eyelets. Stamping was optional, and I decided to stamp a few flowers on the vellum. I used a flower from Stampin' Up Big Pieces as well as Little Flowers. Then in the center of the flowers I added a little pink sparkle. Now, I'm off to let my daughter do all the stamping today, since for her birthday she said she wants to "stamp all day long and be in charge." Great 5-year old wishes!
