My blogging buddy Annette is hosting a Contenders Blog Hop for those projects not accepted for the latest Paper Crafts Magazine call. I thought I'd share a two-time reject:
This card was originally submitted to the last Paper Crafts Card Creations call and then to the sunshine category of the latest call (I know, it was an extra long-shot for that category).
I cut the egg on my Cameo, made my own sentiment, and double-stitched some patterned paper. The denim is part of my daughter's old jeans. I love using pants the kids have outgrown (or get a hole in) on cards.
Isn't that egg from Lettering Delights so cute? It's from the same collection I used for THIS card. Here's a close-up:
I intentionally put the demin, paper, and sentiment at wonky angles to match the sentiment. I know, I am way too analytical.
If you get a chance and want to link up a creation you submitted to the latest Paper Crafts call, you can link up HERE.
Thanks for stopping by. Enjoy the rest of your weekend!
