Hello,
*Palm smack on forehead*!! Soooo...I decided to create a card for Shery's
STAMPlorations Giving Thanks Linky Party,
by drawing inspiration from the cool photo over at
STAMPlorations November CUTplorations Challenge.
Brilliant idea....I thought. Stamped my
Trendy Leaves in a scatter-y pattern, added a
Sentiment Builders Thank You, tossed in a few stamped splatters and stood back, rather pleased with the arrangement. In fact, I was *so* pleased, I made a second.
Took photos, did the usual pre-post preparations and was all set to publish when it dawned on me: I had NOT used a die on the
card! YEESH! Oh well, at least it fits a couple challenges! Perhaps I
should focus on reading the 'fine' print (which is as obvious as the
day is long!!) far more closely!
Another *palm smack* for good measure!
NOTE: Thrilled and honoured to be selected as a First Class Badge Winner at Cards in Envy~Thank You Challenge. THANK YOU!
Heading off to:
Cards In Envy~Thank You Card Challenge
