Sorry to have been a stranger lately - My husband and I just had a baby boy at the end of March, and he has been keeping be busy NOT making cards lately :) Every now and then, however, he does nap and I am able to sit down and create :) On an even rarer occasion I take a picture and find time to blog... So here it my latest:
Friends of ours had us over for a cook out last week, so this is the thank you card I sent them. I created the "tablecloth" background by gluing 1" squares in a staggered pattern. The 2 cuts are from Cricut' Block Party cartridge, and I know it's hard to see, but I used pop dots on those to give the card dimension. I added the little ant because he made me giggle - I used my black pearl pen to make him. It feels so good to be playing with paper again! :)
I submitted this card for the following challenge:
