Live Once


Hello everyone! I hope that you are having a fabulous start to your week. Mine could have been better but there is always tomorrow! We have another baseball game tonight and it looks like it could storm. Hopefully it will hold off until later.

Today's card is a sketch that I found. I wish I could remember where. My notes are at home and I am still at work. If I find it I will let you know. I loved how it turned out! Very simple!! I seem to be into these very simple cards lately. I had a question about setting the grommets. Here's what I do: I use my 'squishy' mat from my Crafter's Tool Kit and lay my paper on top of that. Then I take the grommet (large or small) and push it through the paper into the mat. Then I turn my paper over and use my bone folder to push the prongs toward the center of the grommet being careful not to push them too far in (so they don't poke back through to the other side). I hope that made sense. I am very tired right now. Anyway, let me know if you have any other questions. I think these grommets are one of my new favorite embellishments! Thanks for stopping by!

Card Recipe: Stamps- Fifth Avenue Floral; Paper- Baja Breeze, Basic Black, Very Vanilla, Urban Oasis designer paper; Ink- Basic Black; Accessories- spiral punch, basic small grommets, dimensionals
