Enjoy the Small Things, thank you card

Whew! For some reason, this card took me all week to put together!


The challenge at Crafty Sentiments Digital Designs was to use THREE papers


and for some reason, I had a lot of trouble with this one!



I finally decided on 3 papers from DCWV.



I created the sentiment/wordart in Inkscape.


Thank you to Paulette at Create with TLC for the Inspiration.


She has been posting FREEBIES all week


and gave me enough encouragement to try to make one myself.


I think it turned out OK and fit with this card!


I took the picture outside, so it's SUPER-BRIGHT!



The Sunshine is a Cricut cut from Doodlecharms.


I cut it out of "Peel & Stick Glitter Foam"


that I picked up at Walmart.


The Challenge this week at Bitten by the Bug 2


was to create a card that includes:


fall colors, a Cricut cut and a Stamp.



The ADORABLE image was my "Special" Freebie


from Paula at Tales from Pollycraft.



What a SUPER-GREAT challenge this was!


Use the new, exclusive FREEBIE in a new GREEN card.


Post it.


GET A NEW FREEBIE!


YAY!


And the new image was awesome to work with!



Maybe the reason it took so long to put together


is that I decided to follow a sketch


from Crafty Sentiments



I turned it on its side for this card.


Trying to figure out a layout with THREE papers


with fall colors


and that cute image


and my sentiment


plus a Cricut cut


was quite a challenge.


But that's what CHALLENGES are for, right?


And I think I pulled it off well enough


to submit my entry into those 4 challenges!



INSIDE:


Inside this card is a special SURPRISE!


Last week, at SVG Cuts they were giving away


a pop up cards SVG kit with any purchase.


I loved the look and style,


so created one similar in Inkscape.



Here is the SVG file I created.


Here is the SCUT file I created for Sure Cuts A Lot.



I used a font called "Bobo", which is similar to "Hobo" but it was FREE!



Quick recap:


So, I am entering this card in the following 4 challenges:


Crafty Sentiments, Challenge 27 (sketch)


Tales from Pollycraft (Flash your Freebies, Part 2)


Crafts and Love (3 Papers)


and


Bitten By the Bug 2 (fall related, including a Cricut cut and a stamp)



WISH ME LUCK (-:
