Just a Minute

I will take just a minute to post Sat. & Sunday's 365 Cards Challenge. We are celebrating our Son's 37 Birthday. It is really tomorrow but My Mother can come today. They will be here at 5 and all I have done is the Red Velvet Cake. They still get homemade cake of their choice, but I don't have to decorate them like I did when they were little. Now on to the cards for 365. First Saturdays. Day 224 - Two Techniques
I know many of you have already done a lot of layering on your cards, but now I want you to use it along with some fussy cutting to create a foreground/background image. Make sense? The idea is to use these techniques to create some perspective. If you often do this on your cards, you will be quite at ease with this challenge, but if not, then this is the time to give it a try.


I use my Cricut Christmas Cartridge to do almost all of this. The man in the chair was googled and printed out and cut. That was the fussy cutting part of the challenge. It was really tiny little cuts around his face. The packages under the tree was from some stickers. I used the foam dots for dimension. I used the pale yellow card stock behind the cut out window, so it would look like the light inside the house. I used the gray card stock for base, so it would look dark outside the window.
Now Sundays Super Sketch.This one is pretty self explanatory. Thanks for looking. Now I am off to get ready to party!!!!

How many times do we have to tell you that you are in the wrong business...plumbing is not your future..it's decorative cards....

And I agree with Karen, you are in the wrong business. Your talents are in the card business among other things.*
