THT069 Manly Grid

Oh my goodness, I couldn't find just the right designer paper or layout for this card to save my life! FINALLY it came together tonight... I made this card for the Treehouse Thursday Challenge this week, which is to use the Grid Technique from the Splitcoast Stampers Resource site. It's a wonderful technique and I love the look of it. This is a great birthday card for a man - which are always difficult for me!

THT066 Cool Things Found!

I've been sorting through all of the stuff in my craft room for the past few days, and I have been amazed at all of the things I've rediscovered! What perfect timing for this week's Treehouse Thursday Challenge, which is to create a card using something recycled or reused. I found these little pumpkins already cut out, and this kitty rub-on just begging to be used on a card. The sentiment is from a Treehouse Digital Set called "Halloween Extras." I also used some DP that I've had for years!

Please join us in this week's challenge, which can be found here. You also might want to take a look at what the design team came up with.

Leonard is a goldfish who wants more than anything to live at the Seattle Aquarium. I thought it was just a radio campaign, but the actual videos are on YouTube! If you want to learn about Leonard's campaign, you can go here:
