Cari's Challenge

Here's a birthday card that I finished tonight for Cari's challenge. Thanks for the challenge Cari!! :)

Items used:

brown cs - Creative Memories Neutrals pack

cream paper - ScrapPad

pink paper - Great American Paper Co

sticker - Creative Memories

ribbon - American Crafts - Hobby Lobby

rub-on - DCWV

inks - Memories - baby pink & moss green

jewels - plastic hot pink - unk

buckle - pearl colored shell - unk

glue - UHU Stic

This is the first time I've used the UHU Glue Stic and I'm very impressed with it! I'm slightly leary still if it has staying power because my experience with glue sticks is that they tend to dry out and my paper project eventually just falls apart. So, I will let you know if this stands the test of time. But, for finishing this project, using this glue stic was a pleasure! It's colored purple so you can see where it goes on. It goes on easy without clumping and sticks paper to paper very nicely. It didn't curl the paper and wasn't messy at all. Thanks to UHU for the free sample to try their product! I can't wait to try it out on other projects!

Worthy is the Lamb

I had a dream one night where I saw the top of the cross and an outline of His body on the cross. I got up and started drawing it so I wouldn't forget it.

It's done in pencil, black Zig Pigma pens and colored pencil.

CPS Entry

Okay, so, I've never entered anything in any contest, but I just thought I might give this one a try. I'm always lurking around on all the cool card and SB sites, but never have enough nerve to enter any. I really like the way this card came out, even if it doesn't get picked as a winner... I'm pretty pleased with it anyway! It makes it kind of easy when you have great paper to work with! :)

As I sit here trying to think about what to write about today, I have to laugh at myself thinking that I just found a way to stop all the random thoughts floating around in my head! Sit down and try to write about them and they're all gone! lol. I guess that once I actually get started I'll have a lot to say... or at least ramble on about. I guess I'll need more uninterupted time so that I could actually get one of those thoughts out and typed here. But for now, I'll start with that. Nothing. Hee hee hee.
