Hello, everyone!
Today I have a card that I made using the new Preserves cartridge from Cricut. This cartridge is seriously cute, but can be made elegant too. This idea was born last Sunday when I was trying to take a nap because I was poorly. All I kept thinking about was a grape card with the sentiment of thanks a bunch. I went through the layout of the card in my head. I sorted out the papers I would use. Then I tried to remember if I owned a sentiment that said 'thanks a bunch'. I had done so much of the planning I could not sleep because I wanted to get out of bed and make this card......so I did.
The paper is Basic Grey's Wisteria(one of my favorite lines of theirs) and the sentiment is from Verve. The 'top note' shape around the sentiment is a SU! stamp that I cut out.
Have a great weekend!!

I hope you feel better now, after your "not-nap" :) I know the feeling. Sometimes you just wanna sleep, but your mind just starts going and you really have no choise but to get up and do it!
Super cute! Sound like your mind works a little like mine! ;-)

I try to write things down if they are keeping me from sleeping. That way I can rest knowing that it's written down for me to deal with later!
Does your mind ever rest?? :-)
I have a wine tasting party every year and this would be perfect. Thanks.
You know I have the same trouble all the time - I never sleep well 'cause my mind is always racing - not necessarily bad stuff but things I need or want to do!! But this is a really cute card! TFS!
