Tuesday Morning Stetches Challenge

Wow...two cards and two posts in the same day!
I told you that I spent my whole day playing in my craft room.  But that's ok, tomorrow will be busy
with church and church-related activities...and then there's.....MONDAY....

I have really slacked off on taking part in all the wonderful challenges out there in blog land.
After posting my turtle card today, I spent a few minutes (ok...so it was an hour) checking out some of my favorite blogs.  I came across this sketch challenge at Tuesday Morning Sketches...




...and I thought...why not?

I have admired all the fans I have been seeing others (more craftier than I) using on their projects.
So...again...I thought...why not?



I love the look of the fans, however...they would work out better if I had a third hand!
It's not a difficult process, just sort of clumsy (or maybe that's just me).

The stork is cut from Cricut's "Wrap It Up" cartridge at 5 1/4 inches.
I used my Cuttlebug and Divine Swirls on the body of the stork and Swiss Dots on the wings.

It might not be a winner, but it did accomplish a few things:

1. Got me to use a cartridge that I had not tried out.
2. Gave me a chance to try a new technique.
3. Gave me an hour or two of crafting bliss!

Not a bad way to spend a Saturday afternoon!


Don't forget that on Monday, I will be drawing the winning name for April Showers!
You still have time to enter the drawing.  Just hop over HERE.  Leave a comment on my
Valentine Mini Album and become a follower if you haven't already.  Last chance to enter is
Sunday, February 13th at midnight!

As always....I appreciate the time you spend with me and the comments you leave!

Until next time,

Tanya
