Sprinkle of...

Good morning! Welcome to Monday, are you all ready for it?  Kyler goes back to school on Wednesday this week and his is super excited.  I think the freshman orientation helped a lot.  Isn't it amazing how much things have changed since we were in high school.  No orientation for me but I still made it though so I guess in the end it is a wash, huh?

Anyway, you came here to see my first official post with The Cutting Cafe, right?  This week Regina has asked us to highlight her Rain Boot Shaped Card.  I was a little nervous out this one after I cut it as I looked at it and though...now what but with some help from a friend it came together nicely.  It is a little out of my normal with the umbrella lady but I love it.  I cut the silhouette from a piece of 12x12 patterned paper that I'd had forever and then just glued her body down to the card but popped up the umbrella itself.  On the outside it says...'Sprinkles of..." and the inside says...'happy thoughts.'  I thought that sentiment went well with the card and could really be used for almost anything.  There is also a template for a envelope with the Rain Boot Card so I made that up and put some matching (though it doesn't look like it in the photo) paper inside as a liner.  While I didn't use them, there are sentiments that come with this set too so make sure you hop on over to The Cutting Cafe Store to check it out!
I'm going to try and get some time in the craft room this afternoon as I'm itching to use some Designed2Delight images.  Not sure when I'll have more crafty goodness for ya but I'll be working on it!

In the meantime...have a wonderful Monday.  I hope you get to enjoy your family and friends on this Labor Day!  Smiley from millan.net
