a card that looks *JUST LIKE* the picture in my head!!!

don't you ♥LOVE♥ it when that happens?! i do! :) the card in question was made as part of this week's challenge at shopping our stash, for which we are making easter- and/or spring-themed projects... though of course you know at SOS what we really looooooove is to see you dusting off your older, more neglected supplies and using them up. so if you pull off a feat of daring stash-usage, be sure to tell us about it when you post your link! i think i've done pretty well on that score, since my whole card revolves around finding a little baggie with half-a-dozen absolutely ancient doodlebug easter stickers in it, and i made them into this:

(patterned paper: mambi; easter stickers: doodlebug; clear "happy" sticker: SRM; adhesives: staples brand gluetape runner, 3m foam tape)
when i found the stickers and then this paper, leftover from an 8x8 scrapbooking page kit i was given some time ago, i thought, "wouldn't it be cool if i could make the word seem to be growing up, out of the ground, like it was part of an easter egg hunt?"... and i think i sort of maybe pulled it off!

one thing of which i am entirely certain is that my lovely SOS team-mates will have made astonishing things, especially to delight ♥YOU♥... why not pop over and confirm this for yourself!

  5. This turned out so cute! And to think you just dug through and found old stickers and such from a kit. Very cool. I love when cards come out like they are in head too. Doesn't happen all the time for me much. :) Hope you are doing well and packing up!
