That Kind of Awesome


Don't you just love when you have really awesome days? Yesterday was an awesome day. I took half a day vacation, enjoyed a nap, ate a piece of carrot cake, received many well wishes from family and friends...Yes, the day was awesome. (And that is the kind of awesome said with the same enthusiasm as when my eight year is told there is no school for the day!)


The October Artful Delight Card Kit includes a really stylish sheet of alphas, and I have some tips and tricks over on the Artful Delight Blog on how to customize the stickers for use on a card. All elements on the above card, with the exception of the embroidery floss, are from the kit. And here's another clean and simple card featuring the technique:

Dress them up or dress them down, these alphas from the kit are just awesome.
