     I recently purchased a set of Tim Holtz Found Relatives cutouts and had a lot of fun using them to create cards with humorous sentiments. This sentiment is a bit snarky/mean… but I thought it was a good fit for the look on the vintage woman’s face. And… my husband said it was his all-time favorite of the cards I've made. So I hope it isn’t too offensive? And maybe even provide you with a giggle or guffaw? (The card also fits nicely into the current challenge at Simon Says Wednesday: Layer it up/Use Ephemera)

Supplies: 

·    Vintage Portrait- from Simon Says (Tim Holtz idea-ology FOUND RELATIVES)

·    Sentiment (divided into two sections)- freebie from Gingershouse Blogspot (No Spark between us…)

·    Sookwang double-sided tape- Available from several sources on the web.

·    Patterned paper, paper doilies, other misc. items and tools from my stash.

   I’m having fun creating yummy cards for the chocolate/sweets theme at Park Hopping. This one took some time to pull together because I needed to piece together the “ransom note” with words found, fussy-cut and pasted in place. A freebie sentiment, chocolate themed, carries the fun into the inside of the card. The final touches were to embellish the front and inside of the card with luscious chocolates (stickers) and chocolate fingerprint smears (made with my fingers and a brown ink pad!)

     I’m entering this card into several challenges, including Colorful Options: Color Board AG (my card features 3 of the colors, and a shade of red that might qualify as light burgundy?)  

Supplies: 

·    Stickers of Yummy Chocolates- Dollar Tree

·    Front Sentiment- "Hand over the chocolate..." created with words cut from assorted old magazines

·    Inside Sentiment- “Chocolate doesn’t ask silly questions…”- freebie from skogstokiga.blogspot.com- (Sadly, blog is closed)

·    Sookwang double-sided tape- Available from several sources on the web.

·    Brown ink pad, other misc. items and tools from my stash.
