Leaf hunting!

 

Hi friends!

Today is party day in our home!

Alice's birthday party is today

since her actual birthday is the middle of the work week :)

We've transformed the house into an ocean paradise from the movie, Moana!

One of the cards I've made recently was actually inspired by her

and a nature walk that we took around our neighborhood.

Leaf printing!

We collected several leaves as I was also looking for one to create for this card.

I used the mini MISTI to hold the leaf in place, 

stamped it with Versamark and and pressed it into the cardstock.

Once it was pressed down, I used gold embossing powder and heat set it.

The sentiment from my desk and I also added enamel dots

but took this photo before I did - so this is the non-dot version!

Here's Alice, flushed from our walk, with her finished masterpiece 

that we glued down and surprised her mommy!

I have to say ~ hers is definitely the showstopper!

We've got seeds, leaves, flowers and tree bark ....

Thank goodness, she didnt' want to glue the snail we found - yikes!

He went to live in the backyard tree :)

*whew!*

Oh!

I do have a giveaway!
