(This is my second post for today. Please scroll down for more.)
After several days filled with errands, work, and those must-be-attended-to life tasks, I finally have some time for creating. Yay!
All week I've been wanting to play along with the new EtsyInspired challenge, which is to be inspired by the wares of the Etsy shop Dollbirdies. I just love the fantastic variety of fabrics used in the purses, wallets, and passport covers found here. I was particularly taken with this adorable passport cover.
I found a decent match for it with some papers from my BasicGrey Green at Heart pad.The sentiment is a computer-printable "Simple Sentiments" from Paper Crafts magazine. You can find it, along with nine more from the March/April 2011 issue, HERE. The "You take the Cake" sentiment I used is actually a bright, pretty fuchsia color in the file, but there must be something wrong with my new ink cartridge, because when I printed it out (unaltered by me!), it came out much darker. Which turned out to be just fine--looks kinda razzleberry to me and suits my color palette for this card just perfectly! I'm entering this card in the Paper Crafts Simple Sentiments Gallery Challenge.
I'm also playing in these two challenges:
- All Things Unity #27: Bling, which I used to turn the sentiment into a thought bubble. (My Unity stamps are from the Total Cuteness kit.)
- 4 Crafty Chicks: eyelets. I used some green eyelets from my stash to anchor the corners of my DP panel.
- Crafty Creations: in stitches
Nothing is foolproof

Now, isn't that the truth??? I had a good chuckle in the car after spotting that one.
I'll probably be back later. See you!

Cute little owl, makes me smile. Love the card, great job. So cool! Thanks for joining us at 4 Crafty Chicks!
Em, this is surely a winner. I love your adorable owl and the paper you printed. For sure, I see Razzleberry.
Don't you just love reading bumper stickers and tags?
I meant the sentiment you printed. Oops.
Must-be-attended-to life tasks...pah! I hate those, they get in the way. I mean, really, the kids ate yesterday, right??
I think I know some "sufficiently talented fools"...that's an awesome bumper sticker!
And, finally, d'oh, I love this card - owls just make me happy!
