I Can't Stop!

Last month I did some Melissa Phillips challenges and one of them was on a white card. I love the cards that Danni and others have done on white but I have HATED everything that I have done on white in the past so I always avoided them. I guess that why they call them challenges. It's supposed to be challenging. So off I went to work on my white card. It was difficult and it didn't end up very white but good for me. Then I found Doodlebug's white embossed dot cardstock and gave it a shot. I can't stop using the stuff. I try, but I always end up with some white embossed dots somewhere. That's what happened on this card. I had already made a card yesterday with it and I tried to find something I liked with this strawberry but I ended up with white embossed dots. But hey, no jewels. Maybe I'm on to something else. This card is loosely based on the bonus sketch by Lulu at 2S4Y this week. I love those sketches. They are so much fun.
The patterned paper is We R Memory Keepers, Bo Bunny Press, and My Mind's Eye. The glitter paper (flower) and embossed cardstock is Doodlebug. The ribbon and rub-on letters are American Crafts. The glitter letter stickers are Making Memories. The strawberry is my own design.
Well, I'm off to make a salad for the scout's "Blue and Gold Banquet" tonight. What kind of "salad" do you make to feed a bunch of hungry boys, you ask? Why "Cookie Salad" of course! All of the Primary leaders who have responsibilities in scouts are bringing a salad to go with the boys' "Hot Dog Bar". Does that sound like scouts or what? They sure know how to have a good time. Have a good one!

  5. Hey, dad said that he wanted to do the 5K for the Teton Dam Marathon. Do you have any interest in it? I am also thinking about doing that sprint triathalon in Rexburg. It is August 15th. I know you talked about it at one point. Anyway, there is lots of time for us to learn how to swim! : )
