A Pie of Thanks!
Last month for my birthday, my dear neighbor and friend made me a Strawberry-Rhubarb pie. It was the most beautiful pie I had ever seen, I almost didn't want to eat it...almost is the key word...I pretty much ate the whole thing over the course of 3 days. It was delicious! No one else in my family wanted any, which was fine by me, but not my waist. Oh well! Anyway, I wanted to make her a card to say thanks and when I saw the challenge over at BBTB2 "From The Kitchen" I knew it was the perfect opportunity to use a pie image. This pie is from the Country Life cartridge, there is usually a rolling pin attached to this, but I cut it off for my card. Mojo Monday's sketch for the week also served me perfectly as the inspiration for this layout. Paper Playtime's challenge is Anything Goes, so I will be entering this there too. The patterned paper is from DCWV Nana's Kitchen, ColorBoK 6x6 Natural Expression pack, and Echo Park 6x6 Charming pack. I used Spellbinder's Classic Bracket for the top and bottom border. Of course, foam tape is popping up the mats, the image, and the flag. I'm thrilled with how this turned out and can't wait to send it to her.
