Today It Is
The open mouth, the wide eyes, the excited expression on his face...it is all priceless when you tell him he can do what he's always wanted to do this past year. He can do it because it is his birthday. You tell him "Yes, honey, yes you can. Today it is all about you."
Today it is all about the new CAS-ual Friday Challenge: Stuck on You! Simply showcase stickers in a unique and exciting way on your clean and simple creations. There is an awesome, I mean really awesome, sponsor this week: SRM Stickers. Their sticker products are exceptional, top notch and uber cool. To find out more about the challenge, the prize, the rules and to see great inspiration from the Girl Fridays, visit the CAS-ual Fridays Challenge blog.
My clean and simple creation started with a white card base cut to size, and partially embossed. I then banner die cut some pattered paper and stuck the clear stickers over it. The piece was finished with two simple lines of somewhat straight stitching.
Can't wait to see what you will create with stickers for this challenge!
Supplies Used:
Cardstock: (White) Office Max
Patterned Paper: (Pixie Collection) Cosmo Cricket
Other: (Stickers) SRM Press, (Thread)
Tools: (Impression Plate) PTI, (Banner Die) Lil' Inker Designs, (Corner Chomper) WR Memory Keepers
