FROM TWINKLE TOES


On Friday my son asked before he left for school if I could make a Thank You card for one of his friends. His friend wrote the play he is in and he wanted to give her a card. 

I guess it wasn't my day but one of those days when every little thing goes wrong when crafting.
I had in mind to make an easel card and we all know how easy they are. This one took me over two hours, grrrr!
I kept messing up, dropping things, forgetting this and that....oh my God....I was in such a nasty mood when I finished it was good nobody was around me, lol.

Anyway...I ended up using Twinkle Toes (one of the carts that my son got me on Black Friday) after trying to find another image on the G with no avail.
It is good that I am lucky and I have this many carts but it does get overwhelming trying to remember which cart has this and that and the G search is not the most friendly.
I used other carts for the words.

Thanks so much

 I can't believe this card took my patience away.

If I wouldn't have to finish it that day I would have walked away from it, lol

If you notice I wanted embossing and got debossing...the thanks was cut like 5 times until I got the right size, the debossed background was bigger than the layer (had to cut it by hand) and the heaviness of the top kept falling backwards, grr...among many other things....Well, I needed to vent.....thanks for listening :)

Have a great day! 
and thanks for stopping by.

  13. I hear you! Hate when the cards become bigger than your vision (if that makes sense)!

    Good news is that it turned out beautifully!!! I love your work!

    The inspiration you provide is the best blog candy there could ever be!

    Thanks so much for sharing your talent with me.

  14. Wow Agnes! Your hurdles certainly payed off! This card is an awesome idea. Now you make me feel guilty that I should make the same for the directors of the play that my daughter and I are in!!
    I have to ask, is this YOUR design?
