Yesterday was pretty exciting at my house. I recently got a Cuttlebug and it just dawned on me the other week that I could use Nestabilities. Overstock had some really good prices on the 4-pack bundles with free shipping, so I ordered the petite and scalloped circles set and then waited rather impatiently. I found a rubber gasket at my hardware store and picked up a C plate from my local stamping store, and yesterday the Nesties arrived! (Note: the gasket works REALLY well. $8 saved!)
I cut and embossed the circle before I found the DP I wanted to use, so I used chalks to make it look aged. I accidentally touched my marker to the side of the sentiment when I was coloring the flowers, so I decided a button would make a great, strategic addition. :p
I know you've seen me use this sentiment from Unity before - I just love it! It's from the Simple Life (past KOM) kit, and it is just SO versatile. And true! We should live each day to the fullest.
There's a great prize package from Stamp Fairy that will be awarded to those participating in the challenge this week. You should play, too! Thanks for looking!

I love this card. Everything goes together so well, ribbon, papers, card stock. I also love the sentiment. Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThis is one of my MOST favourite quotes/sentiments from Unity. It just speaks to me. Love the card you made with it.
ReplyDeleteFantastic card Jen! I love that paper and your button/ribbon treatment! Thanks for stopping by!
ReplyDeleteTammy :)
Awesome card! I like your 'strategic positioning' trick. I do that too! ♥ky
ReplyDeleteSweet! I love it :) Thanks for playing in our challenge at Operation Write Home!
ReplyDeleteDon't you just love it when those buttons or flowers come in handy to disguise those oopsies!? That was a perfect embellishment for this great card, and I agree - it's a fabulous sentiment! NJ!
ReplyDeleteI love sentiments that hold their own! This is really elegant, Jen. Don't you hate it when something is perfect and then there's that one little touch? I had that happen when I removed a mask and the image popped back on to the stamp. Argh! You hid this one perfectly. ;)
