Disney Finding Nemo Shape Card!

I thought this cuttlebug die would be fun to try since it has been in my stash for 2 years. It was not easy! This was my 5th Nemo! I just could not get the white to look nice. I tried white embossing powder, snow, paint and I ended up using a gelly roll pen and glossy accents. I'm not happy with the streaky white look but I ran out of ideas!

Friendship is a Gift from the Heart!

I wanted to make a card for a blogging friend that will be heading back to work now that school is starting. I will be missing our daily texts and emails! She kept me laughing while I was at work and excited about crafting while I was at home. I told her she will now have to text me during her lunch hour about what she is eating!

I am sending this off to her to let her know how much her friendship means to me!

I know she checks my blog so I will just say Thank You to Georgiana from Carson's Creations! She is such a sweet friend and awesome blogging buddy! If you haven't check her out you should!
