On a good note, its the Unity/Ippity Linky Party and I have something to share! Now, I have to warn you, I tried to emboss the sentiment and I really thought I might have to invest in a new glue pad...the embossing powder just would not stick once the heat tool got near! I have figured out how to do it now, though...emboss from the bottom, not the top! The powder stays put but melts just the same! SCORE!
Here it is:
I made this card for my grandfathers 94th birthday, which was just last week. I used some paper that I got in a grab bag of paper from Walmart a LONG time ago. I sanded the edges to give it some wear. Then I matted some white paper on brown and embellished with brads, twine, and a dog sticker. The sentiment that is horribly embossed is from the Ippity set : Party Hat Wishes. It is a wonderful stamp that I have used MANY times...my embossing did not do it justice at all!
Anyway, thank you for stopping in! And check back for the rest of the week because I'm the Growing in Unity gal this week! YAY!
Love, Patricia

I hope that hurricane changes course! Prayers to you and your partner. I hope your grandfather liked his great card!
Cute how you layered the different colors of textured papers on here and sanding them is a nice effect. And look what you learned about EP :)
Neat layers, love sanding textured paper!
Do you really use a glue pad to emboss? I've only ever used watermark ink and never had a problem. I have heard a lot of people having more success heatig from the bottom too. I really like the paper choices on this.
Nice, easy and simple card. Wonderful!!!
Very cute- really like your distressing on the patterned papers.
OMG! This is freaking cute! Love the layout / sketch...the distressing...the twine...and that adorable puppy! Perfect for your Grandfather! Perfect!
