DP card

I used the Storybook cartridge from Cricut for the leaves and SU stamo for the pot. I used a foam square under the pot and then stuck the pins into it. TFL =)

Cards from DP kit

Aren't these fun cards? I just love the beautiful colors of this kit. The flowers in the Life is Sweet card I punch holed the center out of the PP behind it. The leaves are a circle cut in half and the color was changed by sliding across the SU ink pad.

Faith

On this one I put glitter Stickle son the buttons but in this picture its hard to tell. Supplies are from the same September kit. TFL =)

Hang in there Card

Hang in there is hard to visualize but it's inside the leaf. I heat embossed the bird and then colored it in. TFL =)

Hidden Mickey

There is a hidden Mickey in the movie "All Dogs go to Heaven". It is when he reaches heaven and the two dogs are in the watch room. When Charlie follows the female dog there is a Mickey watch that can be seen in the middle of screen. I'm sure it's been sited before but it's the first time I've seen it.

52 Sketches #32

This Lo was done with the sketch #32 from 52 sketches. Again with the scallop edges so this time I got even more creative. I just wrapped it around and pinned it up with a brad. It's not perfect but I kinda like the imperfection of it. After I spent an hour on it, going back and "fixing" it I thought it looked fabulous. Flowers by Prima, Petaloo and AC; Letter stickers by Current; brads by The Paper Studio and MM; PP by K&I
