One of my favorite things to do is get together with family - the WHOLE family! I think that's one of the big reasons why I love the holidays so much. This Sunday, my ENTIRE family (a total of 19 of us - age 59 {Dad} to 1 {nephew, Max}) will get together at a local indoor water park for seven hours of good ol' fashion F-U-N!
The best part? My parents are footin' the bill! So to thank them, I thought it would be nice to make a little water-themed card that my brothers, sister and I could all sign. (
Mom, I know you're reading this. Please act surprised when we give this to you on Sunday. *giggle*)
If you've been following me for any length of time, you probably notice that this isn't my typical style of project. It's fun to try something different every once in a while! I cut the turtle using the
Stretch Your Imagination cartridge and my
Cricut. The water is made up of torn blue card stock. For added pizzazz, I outlined the card base and threw on a few little dots with my white gel pen.
The sentiment, "Heart to heart", is from MCT's 1
st Edition stamp set,
You Had Me at Chocolate. This month, Emma is selecting THREE "Stamps of the Month" (one from each of her first three releases) to put on sale! You can also join in on the fun by creating a project using any stamp set from MCT's first three releases and joining the Linky Party on
Emma's blog!
I hope you were inspired!
