Thank You Berry Much! Sweet Strawberry Card! And an Update!!


WoW! I have missed crafting so much! Some of you may know that I am an avid runner and have recently taken on a volunteer assistant cross country coach position at the local middle school. The commitment is 4 nights a week and 1 early morning. So during this season I am spreading my time thin! But I wouldn't have it any other way! I know that all my blogging friends understand the tough balance between real life and blogging life. I also hope everyone knows how much I miss visiting and seeing what is going on, but I am confident I will soon find a routine that works for me so I can fit it all in! I hope to visit soon! Thanks for understanding! ~Carri

 It has taken me just over 1 week to make this card!




Strawberry is from Indie Art Cricut Cartridge
All papers are from K and Co Mat Pad
Distressed edges, Tim Holtz Walnut Stain
Glitter
Liquid Pearls
Gem Brads
Ribbon from Joanns

    Carri, this is so sweet! I love the fun, yummy berry! The dipping of it in glitter looks fabulous:) The papers, inking and the sentiment are perfect!

    Good for you, both running and coaching! That early morning session must be chilly! Love your berry card, esp the glitter and pearly accents. Keep up the card-making, too. Running is good for the body but crafting is good for the soul!

    Fabulous card! The liquid pearls are a wonderful touch!

    I'm glad all is well with you. I sure know how busy life can get!! My husband coaches cross country at his school. It takes time but he gets a good workout in the process - plus, the kids really appreciate it. I'm sure you're appreciated too!!

    Thanks so much for playing along with us at My Craft Spot!
