Every once in awhile I come up with a bright idea Hee! Hee!
while I was playing with my Carousel Notes ( Which are FABULOUS girls .. SERIOUSLY!!!
you ALL must get them before they are Gone this next month ) Look what I came up with ... pretty cute huh? I think This will actually be my Moms Mothers day card this year, Since it's Very unique ( Just like her ).. What I did was fold the Carousel notes in half ( one of each color Soft sky, Wild Wasabi, and Groovy guava ) and used the scallop punch to make a type of a suspension card on each panel . I then added
Chocolate taffeta ribbon to hold the circle punches in the center of the scallop punch outs and then made a ribbon loop tag to add a little flair to her card .. I took photos of each panel and also of the side to give you a visual of what it looks like put together. I used the ONE OF A KIND & TRUE FRIEND stamp sets to bring it all together .. a TON of dimensionals were used for this project.
Dawns Little side note .. You will punch one scallop out then line the others up with that punch out since it is really hard to punch through 2 layers ...
I really love the way it turned out , Just as I imagined it .. Don't you like it when things work out that way ?
Yesterday I was able to take my car in to start the work on repairs YAHOO .. We decided Not to go with the rental car so instead I am using my hubbys truck :-) . I called to see how much it would be to put insurance on it and get it out of storage for 5 days and get this~ It's ONLY $12.66 for all 5 days The rental was going to be about 20.00 a day so thats a savings .. But I am sure that will be eaten up when I have to fill the gas up at the end of the 5 days ( Its all GOOD!! and still Praising God ) .. But whats even better is that we are driving it since its been just sitting there for over 1 year now .. It's sooo pretty & fun to drive.
Have a Fabulous Tuesday !
Thank you for stopping By today .
Until later.. Happy Stampin !!
Oh Dawn! This card is just wonderful!
And Wahoo! Driving hubby's truck! What a savings... and I'm so sorry about your car. I bet that kid got in some REAL trouble and that parent will never park there again!!

Awesome! And to think I almost ordered these at our club meeting, but now it's too late. Darn!
Don't forget to "Bob your Head" when you drive DH's truck, just like in the song by Rascal Flatts, kwim?
