The Pixie Cottage Challenge #57

Hello, glad you stopped by to visit my blog.

Germs!!!! No matter how hard I try to avoid them if a child in my home gets sick, I am soon to follow. Both of my boys have been ill and I have been so careful!!!! Yet, here I sit today stuffy nose and congested. I delight in being a mother it is such a blessing. So through my illness I will still create a card or two.

Today I am tackling The Pixie Cottage Challenge #57.

Click on their name and check them out.

I thought the sketch would be relatively easy for me and the embossing would be a cinch. Then I realized after I colored and cut out Mudpie (twice) that I am not that talented. Can you remember anyone ever saying, 'be smarter than the tools that you use'? Well I have heard that before and for the love of scrap booking, the Cuttlebug wins today.

Now onto my card. I choose Mudpie Holds Jellybeans for my stamp. He has the cutest little face! I used the CB to emboss the Colormates medium glorious green card stock. I used a Provocraft die to cut the corner shapes and cut the center strip to match.

I thought long and hard about a decent quote for Mudpie's challenge of gathering jellybeans. Eleanor Roosevelt quotes are always inspiring so, "You must do the things you think you cannot do." was placed below Mudpie.

I pray each of you have a good weekend.

Later, Linda
