Okay, I admit, this card is a stretch for my Fabric Fridays! BUT, I've been fighting the worst cold all week long. I haven't even left the house since Tuesday afternoon. (That's my secret to lowering my gas bill - don't go anywhere!) I didn't even stamp for a few of the days. To give you an example, on Wednesday I received a box full of some goodies that you'll be able to buy next month (you've never seen them before - they're from the next BIG catalog!!!) BUT, I was SO sick that the box sat on my back porch for HOURS before I got up the energy to go and get them. Yup. That sick! I attempted to make something with them on Wednesday night but didn't get very far - I took the paper out of the packaging and assembled a four-stamp set. I decided that the best course of action (considering my schedule for the rest of March) was to just sit on the couch and rest. But, now I'm making up for lost time!!! Look out! Over the next few days I'll be posting the fruits of my labor! TYou see, I woke up this morning at 3:30am with the worst coughing fit. I couldn't get back to sleep. My mind was racing with everything that Claire and I have to do for next weekend's HUGE Spring Fling event. So, instead of torturing myself (and listening to my husband snore), I decided to stamp. I must be feeling better, right?
Now that I've shared too much information, let's move on to today's card. Many of you have asked when I was going to do something with the Build-a-Blossom Stamp Set and Blossoms Punch. Well, to be honest with you, they don't excite me! Sure, I've seen cute projects, but they just weren't lighting my fire. However, one of my hostesses this weekend specifically requested the card on page 5 of the Occasions Mini Catalog. At least the design work was pretty much done! I decided to tweak the colors and use the Sew Suite line of products as my inspiration. I chose to use the Sweet Stitched Fabric Designer Brads for the center of my flower. I changed the colors to Daffodil Delight and Wild Wasabi. As a demonstrator, I love that the brads are all the same size - making it easy to design a card! So, there ya go - my Fabric Friday project - Fabric Covered Brads!!! Does that count? I kept the card a Mother's Day Card and stamped the sentiment from my favorite hostess set (at least today) - Something to Celebrate.
Be sure to check out my blog over the next few days - cards will post! I promise they will be there because I'm going to be scheduling them next!
