Taking the Positive with the Negative - Take 4

The challenge at AAA Birthday is pattern paper.  Holy moly, do I have pattern paper; I had to play along.  

So I created this shaker card using some festive pattern papers. My plan was to use the negative of the die to create the shaker with the shaker bits behind the window. 

And I managed to find some sequins to match!   And fit all those little pieces onto the acetate for the "open letters". 

And because I can't help but use my negative pieces, including the scraps of paper from the previous card, I had to create using the positive image of that Happy Birthday sentiment. 

This one is a little simpler . . . but all about the pattern paper. 

I hope you find some time to use your positive and negative dies!

Use Your Stuff - Enamel Dots

Oh man, do I have enamel dots in my stash.  I use them here and there, but clearly not often enough.  Was inspired this week to use them when prompted at the Use Your Stuff challenge blog. 

I went to a card kit to play along with this challenge (and always one fairly near by, not stacked in a corner).  

A flip-it card with enamel dots . . . 

With a happy birthday message . . .

I hope you find some time to create.

Just Add L . . . for Lemons!

Just Add Ink had the prompt of "Just Add L".  I had to go with lemons and lemonade.  

The saying is always appropriate for when times are rough, so I couldn't resist.  I tried to keep it as simple as possible. And of course my inside sentiment, while not pictured, finishes this familiar quote. 

I hope you find some time to cut, paste and ink!

Creating a Scene for Seize the Birthday

Yep!  I got so excited I created a scene for Seize the Birthday.  And for this one, I went "pasture" birthday.

I am horrible at sending cards on time, so had to do a belated sentiment on this one. 

Loved playing with this Lawn Fawn set which is an older set in my stash!  

I hope you found some time to create a scene!
