I like to use up my scraps as often as possible, so here's a fun way to use some of those larger pieces. See what you think.
For this card I used Tasty Treats Specialty Designer Series Paper. You can use pretty much anything you want, even mixing DSP's as long as the colors come together.
Recipe:
Whisper White / Watermelon Wonder - 8 1/2" x 5 1/2", scored and folded at 4 1/4"
Large Ice Cream strip - 5 1/4" x 1 1/2"
Small piece - 2 1/4" x 2"
Large piece - 2 1/4" x 3"
Watermelon Wonder Square - 2 1/8" square cut from Stitched Shapes Framelit Dies
Stamps - Balloon Adventures
Ink - Watermelon Wonder
Party Animal Embellishments
After making the first one with Whisper White for the base, I decided it wasn't enough color, so I made a second one with Watermelon Wonder as the base. I'm really going to hate to see that color go away! :(
I popped up the Watermelon Wonder square with Stampin' Dimensionals.
Thank you for looking in today. Have a happy weekend!

Do you remember the old Kodak commercials at Christmas and the motto was "Open Me First!"? It was brilliant because opening the camera first allowed you to take pictures of the rest of the gift exchange and holiday.
That was the first thing I thought of when I saw this sentiment.
So, earlier today *Wednesday* I asked my youngest son when he would like to get together for his birthday dinner and he decided tonight *Wednesday* would work well, so of course I agreed.
Next, get home from work fast and make his birthday card! LOL Here is what I made.. Kind of copied the card I made for my oldest son here. Thank goodness for fast cutting!

Inside I made a little pocket to slip the money into so it didn't just jump out of the card.
