Aaalooooooohaaaaa! It's another wonderful Wednesday challenge at
365 Cards! Today Pam wants to see our cards meant to cheer someone up! I almost went literal based on her title "When Life gives you Lemons" but I really didn't have any stamps to go with that AND I'd just gotten this cool set from Taylored Expressions "Hangin' Out- At the Beach" so here ya go! I love this sentiment and it's sooooo true for me based on the last few days I've had at work (Hawaii schools returned to class on Monday...UGH!)! Anyway, I've been wanting to make a shaker card so I repurposed the back of a button container to make this one! The Dew Drops inside are called "water" although I pulled the totally green ones out of this collection. The background in double embossed...that is both dry and heat embossed (find a
toot at SCS on how to do this). A little bit of sewing around the edge and viola! It's done! And here's the inside...which kinda finishes the challenge!
Here's some other challenges I was inspired by for this card:
1.
By The Cute And Girly - The sea
2. Craft your passion challenges - anything goes
3. CREATIVE BELLI BLOG - non paper: I'm considering the plastic container I used as my shaker as my "non-paper" item
4. Digi Doodle Shop's Best - anything goes
5. Karens Doodles Challenge Blog - recycle it: see above re: the shaker element
6. Meljens Design Team and Challenge - frame it
7. Our Creative Corner - red and aqua
8. Paper Issues - make a splash

10. SEW MANY CHALLENGES - anything goes
11. The Crafty Pad - something clear
12. The Friday Mashup! - color elements (turquoise, red, and black)
13. Sweet Sunday Sketch - sketch

You are so clever. Just had to click to enlarge and see the button bubble you used for the shaker. How very smart of you! Love the sentiment, I think we both need to hang this card up in our respective offices - guess you better make 2!
Love every detail from the color combo to the stitching to the fussy cutout flower to the beads to the swirls! U R an inspiration!
Love, SAM aka MOM
