Project #1 & Blog Candy: How do you use your scraps?

We have a winner!






Congratulations!  I will email you at dbjb1519 at yahoo dot com  




Hello! Thanks for stopping by!


This posting is my first installment of my blog candy series!  I'm excited that you took a moment to visit with me.


Ok, here's how it works - 
In the comments field, let me 1) know your thoughts on my project, 2)  answer the question "How do you use your scraps?" include your blog linking a project you've made using scraps and 3) leave your name and email address so that I can reach you in the event that you're the winner.


If I reach 56 followers by the 28th, I will be giving away a few Cricut cartridges!


Ok, now onto this project - 
The wife of my childhood Pastor has been in the hospital in very serious condition for about 2 months.  I wanted to create a card that did not say "Get Well Soon" or "Thinking of  You."  She would also say, when you don't know what to say, say "hello!".  So, this card says just that!


I wanted bright and lively colors.  My challenge to myself was just to use my scraps.  So I dug in my scrap bin and this is what I made!

The sentiment is created using the Wild Card cartridge.  I've included a few bright Prima flowers, can't go wrong with Prima's!  The flowers are secured together with a brad from Michael's and glued to the card with a pop dot.  The border punch is by Fiskars.




The Project:  A bright cheery greeting card made from scraps!
Blog Candy #1:  Super Cute Jewel and Pearl Brads from American Crafts.  Also include is a set of Pearl Brads.
