BBTB Snail Challenge and #12 of Card a Day







Hmmmm, it's a lttle after 3 a.m. and here I am posting yesterday's card for Jen's Card a Day Challenge. This one's only a few hours late so I'm getting closer. Woke up and just couldn't go back to sleep 'til it was done. LOL Do you think I'm taking this too seriously? Anyway, this week's challenge at BBTB is to use the snail from A Walk in my Garden. Ain't she sweet? Had a ball dolling her up with prima flowers and skittles and I just LOVE her googly eye complete with eye lashes. The butterfly that is hitching a ride is a Marthat Stewart punch. I originally designed this shape card with just the leaf until I realized it wouldn't stand up that way so I welded some grass from Zooballoo to the bottom and that did the trick. That leaf is also from WIMG and I chose it because I thought the holes made it look like she was munching on it but as I look at it now it looks more like a big green football. Do love the texture from my Swiss dots Cuttlebug folder and the twig folder on the grass though. Scrapping pads were 50% off last week at M's so I filled my cart. These fun patterns are from Making Memories and Me & My Big Ideas. Be sure to stop by Bitten by the Bug and see the design team's amazing creations (including Jen's) and stop by Jen's Blog to see what else she's been cooking up.
