still krafty...but also...

...MINIMALIST??!

(cardstock: unknown; patterned paper: doodlebug, scrapbook wizard, 3bugs + vintage sheet music & scraps of copier paper; stamp: pink paislee; gem: mambi; pen: zig; foam tape: 3m)

i know what you're thinking:
"who am i, and what have i done with lauren?!"

it's not like i didn't *try* to keep adding layers and pattern and embellishments...but somehow this sweet little paper pieced birdie resisted all my blandishments and just kept insisting this card was finished. finally i had to respect his wishes.

speaking of cards which feature kraft paper...you still have plenty of time to enter the current CAARDVARKS challenge (until march 3, in fact) ...which is *SO* worth doing, seeing as the prize (from kraft girl kits) is rather fab! why not pop along to 'varks and check it out?

  6. Isn't it funny how they communicate to us! But who are we to argue, esp. when their orders result in fabulous creations such as this!

  9. I knew this was a Lauren card because of your wonderful hand drawn scallops (LOVE those!), the cute bird, and the music paper.

    Very sweet :)

  10. Wow, 'Lauren' and 'minimalist' in the same sentence. But I think June nailed it with the scallops giving you away. :-) Lovely, as usual.
