Card Swap

Happy Sunday
(not really since the weekend is over)

First I'd like to share a picture of my other athlete. This is my son competing in a track meet with the after school program. He is running their version of hurdles.


I've signed up for a crad swap through a post I found on FaceBook through "My Pink Stamper". I challenged myself not to use the Create A Critter cartridge and not to make something "girly". Here is what I came up with.

I used the Paisley cartridge and cut the frog at 2 1/2" and then ran him through the Cuttlebug using the Swiss Dots embossing folder. I added the wiggle eyes (something I've seen a few other scrappers do). The striped paper is from the DCWV Summer stack. The sentiment is a clear stamp from the $1 bin at Michael's.

While I was out today picking up the wiggle eyes, I stopped by a Big Lots. I've read from a couple of people that they had Cuttlebug dies and folders. There was only one and I picked it up for only $2. It's called "Invitation" and is for the inside of any type of invitation. I also picked up some cute 12x12 paper packs for only $5 each. The only problem was that you don't get all the prints they show on the front of the pack. It's kind of a suprise.

I'm still working on picture taking. I can't seem to figure out the best way to take pictures so that you can see the detail. Oh well, I'll keep experimenting.

Thanks for stopping by
