Well I have To Start Somewhere....

...if I want to find my dinnertable.

Came home late from work today (overtime) and suddenly my tired mind could not stand my messy dinnertable. Yes I own a dinnertable, that is the thingy that is sometimes stand-in as the thing that holds all my crafty things away from the floor.

Came across some unfinished projects and suddenly remembered The Order of Opus Gluei's latest challenge: Challenge #94: Reach Out and Get a Handful. Aimed to makes us find some unfinish projects and then make something out of it.

I had mounted this scrap piece of designpaper to a scalloped white card stock scrap a long time ago, and then just forgotten all about it. The designpaper is unfortunately sold out, and could thereforenot easity part with this one... Then I came a across a sentiment, that I made but never used....hmmm...needed a little adjustment and then perfect for this card..... Something was missing, then saw the yarn, that I have chickened out to use (yes I was actually going to make a chiken of this yarn....plenty left so could still do it... just need some additinal things to make that happen).


Voila my card - and I like it so much that it is going to one of those cards I will have difficulties to part with :o) The quarter next to it, is just to illustrate the small size of this card. And this this is a bloghop - not too sure what that is....

This is lovely-I would have a hard time parting with it too!

I can see why you are hesitant to part with this card. It's beautiful. I love that paper. Those colors are so calm and peaceful. Love the scalloped edges. Mostly I love that you dug in and used stuff you had already started. Thanks so much for playing with us at OPUS GLUEI this week.

(A bloghop is just where you can add the code to your blog which would add all of the entries thumbnails to your post. Not necessary. I just like to put it out there in case you want to add it.)

This is so wonderful, I love how beautifully the sentiment AND the paper came together! It's soft and sweet and I would have a hard time passing it along too!

thank you for participating with us at Opus Gluei!
