I tried something different today.  I started an all occasion card and found I had measured wrong.  My brain is really rattled with the end of school here in two days, girls camp around the corner, and my daughters graduation smack in the middle.  Not to mention all of the things that go along with that schedule.

Focus here, try to stay focused.  So, I just thought I would use an edgelit to fix my piece that was too narrow.  The only boarder edgelit that wasn’t retired is the file tab one, and I didn’t think that would work with my design idea.  I looked through the framelits to look for something that could give a fun edge.  Enter the striped scallop thinlits die.  I just lined up my paper one sheet at a time along the very last scallop and look what I got!  How cute is this?  At first, the whisper white sheet looked like big teeth.  Admit it, you can see them.  Once they were layered and sponged the teeth went away, for the most part.

I started the card portrait, but discovered it looked nice either way.  Talk about a versatile card.  There you have it.  I started with only a color in mind, added a stamp for background, goofed my measurements and then discovered something fun.  I honestly have been nervous to put this thinlit to work.  How funny that the first time I use it you can hardly recognize it.

Now I get to see if I figured out how to schedule this post correctly.  I am shooting for 5:00 am, we will have to see.  My blog clock doesn’t match mine.  I need to get this sorted before I go to camp next week so my posts can happen.  Or, I might just take the week off.

Have a creative day, or night, or afternoon, whenever this blog shows up.
