SOS99: by the numbers

this week, at shopping our stash we are ALL ABOUT NUMBERS! yepper, we're making cards that feature numerals in clever ways: you could use up your miscellaneous number stickers, or pull out your number stamps, grab some number-themed paper, or metal numbers... maybe a card in the shape of a "1" for a first birthday, or a LITERAL "big 5-0"?! anything with a number will work, so get your thinking cap on and have fun!  earlier this week, after a bit of searching, i managed to find (and unpack!) the box with all my pre-cut vintage/ephemera/collage elements in it... so i decided to celebrate by making this card! :)


yeah, except for a little scrap of MME cloud paper and some elderly thickers, this thing is ALL "found objects" and none the worse for that, in my opinion. i also got my sewing machine set up, with only a little delay when i realized that the only electrical outlet anywhere where i wanted to put it was BEHIND a very large and heavy piece of furniture! luckily, lovely husband jeff (and an extension cord!) came to my rescue and i was able to do my first decorative stitching in the new house! it felt ♥GOOOOOD♥ too, lol!

i hope ♥YOU♥ are feeling good today, but if not, i'm sure it would cheer you up no end to go and see my fellow SOS-ers' take on this fun challenge! ciao, darlings! :) :) :)

    Great stitching and a super cute card! Love that big fish and the background is just perfect.
    Glad you're all moved in now - you're going to love your new home!

    Awesome card. Love that fish. Jealous that your sewing machine is set up and mine is not. Six more weeks. Six more weeks. If I keep saying it, maybe it will get here faster. Can't wait. You need to show some pics of your work area!

    I LOVE that goldfish image. If this card does not have a home, it must be saved for me. Calling dibbers!! haha I like the idea of using up number things. Very cool.
