I haven't made a shaker card in a long while, so I had to refer to the Splitcoast Stampers tutorial for a quick refresher course. I used a Papertrey Ink stamp to stamp the background of the shaker card and use it again on the front panel. It definitely looks a bit boring on the blog :( but in real life it makes a greater impact!
So, what are the challenges you ask?
Hand Stamped Sentiments#101 - Shaker Card
And
You have until tomorrow the 23rd for all three of these challenges if you want to come play along!!
On another note - thank you for all your lovely notes about Lily's passing. We're actually doing OK. I had a harder time with Layla's passing and I think I know the reason. Lily was blessed with 9 years of a princess' life. Layla was only with us for 2 years and I think that was much harder for me because I wanted to be able to give her more for a longer time. Know what I mean? But - thank you again for those that have commented on the blog, sent me cards, called or emailed. We do appreciate the outpouring of love.
Thanks for your visit!
