Springtime Hugs

Hi There! Hello!

I have a springtime box card to share with you today.

As I am writing this post, it's beginning to rain and thunder here. Oh, I do love me a good thunderstorm.

Some Vinyl cuts...

You know I hate liquid glue. I mean, I'll use it when I have to, but I avoid it to extreme measures. Meaning I'll use anything else I can find first, and only use liquid glue as a last resort.

So... if you follow my monthly refrigerator calendars I make for Bonnie to help her visualize time, days, events, etc, you'll know I recently had a brainstorm: Why am I fussing with gluing thin numbers to put on the die cuts for the frig, when vinyl works just like stickers?!?!?!

I've started incorporating that new idea to my other various craft projects as well, like this box card where the small cuts for this project were actually cut vinyl.... the umbrella handle and colored panels, all layers of the rainboots, and the raindrops under the cloud.  

I am loving this idea of using vinyl for small pieces!  I get so excited about little things like that. hahaha

(Ooooo, did you hear that? Big ba-da-boom! 

It's getting darker and darker outside, and currently it's only 1pm on Tuesday when I'm writing this up to post for Thursday.)

I'm glad you stopped by today to check out my project.

Thanks so much for visiting my blog,

following, & commenting!!
