fabulous digis, and the wonderful new
stamps and die cuts they have!

Here is my card 
This cute set, from Newton's Nook, must be
retired. Who knew? I use it so often I didn't
realize. The card was made for my friend's 
daughter. I used a stencil for the yellow 
striping and a random scallop die cut for the
image background. I colored the images with
SN TriBlend markers and die cut them out. 
I stamped a random birthday sentiment and
the "Dig It" from the NN set.
A white gel pen was used for accent.
I raised up the images for some dimension.

If you're looking for my card, me too!
This was one of those challenging weeks
and time just vanished on me. The main
clog in the last couple of days was my 
daughter's call, at 3:00 am, in pain.
I knew right away that it was kidney stones.
Yup...so after some hours in the ER and
making sure her son was taken care of,
card making time disappeared. boo!
