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!

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

This is precious, Tanya! I love the way your fans turned out. I've been considering trying this technique myself, and you've given me some extra motivation to give it a try!
