Go Ahead and Howl...MFPS Project

Good Tuesday morning to you!!  I just made the funnest card... is that a word? I can't wait to show it to you and tell you all about it. You will notice that my supply list for this card is at the bottom of this post. If you are interested in these supplies, you can click on them and be directly taken to that store where you can order the same goodies! Cool, huh? If you have any questions, please leave me a comment with your email so I can answer you back. Okay, ready for that fun card I was talking about? Here we go!!

Project # 210 of this year
Okay, I know the above picture is cloudy, but I have found without the flash, you can better see the dimension of the card, but with the flash the picture is crisper and cleaner. So here's both pictures. I want you to get the full affect. :)






Card Details:
  • Tall Card - 9" x 8" scored & folded @ 4". This will fit into a #10 Business Size envelope.
  • Graphic 45 paper for Jack and Jill song from Playtimes Past.
  • Paper mats cut as follows:
    • Black 8 7/8" x 3 7/8"
    • Purple 8 3/4" x 3 3/4"
    • Black 8 5/8" x 3 5/8"
    • The Robin's Nest "Spring Flowers Glitter Vellum" 8 3/8" x 3 3/8"
  • Offray Ribbon

  • Girl was edged with Tim Holtz "Tea Dye" Distress Ink on legs

I think that covers everything. You should see her dancing (with her Action Wobble) on this card. So fun!

Royal Mail

So glad you stopped by today! Have you checked out The Scrapbooking Queen's Royal Castle Shoppe? No? Oh my Gosh! You've got to go see all her stamp sets and goodies in her shoppe. So many of you have asked me where I get my Action Wobbles.... well, I get them in The Royal Castle Shoppe! You can purchases them in different quantities. Of course, the larger the quantity, the better the discount.
You can purchase as little as 4 Action Wobbles for $2.50, or get them in packs of 25 or 50. I suggest just going ahead and getting 1 or 2 packs of 50. They are so fun and so addictive! The project below made with the "Royal Sayings" stamp set does not have an Action Wobble on it, but if you'd like to see lots of projects I've created with them, CLICK HERE. Make sure you click "Older Posts" at the bottom of the page because all of the Action Wobble projects won't all show on the first page.
