We are finally here, almost settled in, moving into our house this weekend! Kids are in school and settling in well thankfully! This is the first card I have managed to make since the end of May! I am a bit rusty and have very limited supplies so bear with me a little longer! Most of my crafty supplies are on a slow boat at the moment! I won't see them again for at least another month! I have a small box of supplies being delivered tomorrow which came over as air freight but it really is small and only has some essentials in it!
This card is a Whimsy DT card and also for Cute Card Thursday, the theme is
New Beginnings.....how appropriate!
This card is the prototype for my Change of Address cards but this one I made for a friend who is also moving this weekend!
I managed to make this card thanks to some Whimsy stamps that Denise held back for me and sent once we arrived here. The other materials I have bought in the last week or so from Michael's, Jo-ann's or Wal-mart! Love having these stores locally! I am so spoilt here, great craft supplies, fabulous weather and Starbucks just around the corner! What more could a girl want?Supplies:
Stamps : Whimsy Animal Accessory set 1 & 2
DP : Martha Stewart Collection from Wal-mart
Colouring : Limited Copics, few watercolour pencils and a smudge of eyeshadow (well, any port in a storm eh?)
Embellishments : Bias binding, button on sale, pack of buttons and Martha Stewart leaf punch (all Wal-mart) Twine from Michael's,
Treble Clef paperclip from Staples.

Amazing card Deb. Can't beleive you've made it with limited supplies. What will your cards be like when all your stash arrives! LOl! Glad to hear you've settled into your new home, and I have to say I am a little jealous of you having all those wonderful craft stores right on your doorstep {probably at a fraction of the cost of over here as well!}
Hugs, Vicky ~x~
How nice to have you back!! You will need to show us piccies of your new home. Would love to see where you have settled.
Your card is great and made even more wonderful with the fact you have so little to hand. We are soon goingt o be very envious of all the wonderful craft stores you have to hand!!
Welcome back! Hugs Judy xx
Hey - welcome back. Hope that is you settled in now. And that the big boat arrives real soon. I know how you feel. That's one thing I miss being back in the UK. Michaels and Wal-mart. We had several real close to us in Canada. But hey - I guess we just have to make do eh. Well, that and stock up when we go back on holidays - yeah. Anyway, great to see you are crafting again - albeit limited.
