Hi everyone!
I am so excited...........I made it into the
I'm so absolutely honored that I am in this group of AMAZING, talented papercrafters.
I'm not sure what else to say except THANK YOU for believing in me and my work and
for taking your time to go vote for me!
This rounds challenge was to use HOUSEHOLD items! Things found around the house—hmmmm.
Gosh, I had lots of ideas of household things but would they work?! Well, I finally decided to use MATCHES. I have my SIL to thank for this one!
She threw out lots of ideas but it wasn't until she said matches that an idea came to me!
So my idea was the sentiment but now I had to tie it all together. I found this picture on Pinterest and adapted it for papercrafting.....I made my own embellishment! I cut off the tips of the matches and glued them onto a heart diecut from Lil' Inker Designs. Here are the how-to and inspiration photos.

From here, I diecut lots of clouds from the Rainbows and Clouds dies from Lil' Inker Designs.
I knew these would be the perfect clouds for this card as I wanted that little extra texture of the perforations Laura adds to her dies. I used Soft Stone and Shimmer cardstock from PTI for my clouds for the added color to the otherwise white card.
I paired my handmade embellishment with a computer generated sentiment along with a
mini match to tie the whole thing together. I love how it turned out!
Ok friends......I hope you like my card enough to go VOTE for it HERE.
I'd love to have your support and wouldn't be in the Top 10 without each and every one of you!
You have until Thursday at 1pm CST to go vote!
Thank you sooo much!
