Winning Artisan DT Projects: Day 8



"Another Day, another dolla'"

Well, sort of. It's Regatta Day here in Newfoundland, Canada. Yip. Big deal here, that is. It's the 195th Royal... something or another... regatta.  A day at the races. And we get a holiday. Not paid. 
(Get it? Huh? I know you don't all get it.) 
Its the LONGEST RUNNING SPORTING EVENT in NORTH AMERICA. Yip.
Couldn't be prouder, I couldn't.  
So I took the family to the park. Not the races.  "Ain't nobody got time fo 'dat".. the crowds, I mean.  Not with two kids.  See picture below.

OK, OK.  Here's the card.
I call this inside out.  Some of you are SCARED to use patterned paper in and out.  Fear not my friends.  It will only bring joy.  I also used negative space.  And literally just kept using scraps.  I like to use my scraps from my scrapbook pages or recent cards, pile 'em up and make something out of them.  Can't waste "a sliver".  This is like a "leftovers card" or "scraps card".

Yes, Mr. Cathy Caines. I said 'sliver' for the world to see.
(getting myself in trouble again. Sorry. Mr. Ryan Caines.  There's no Mr. Cathy Caines. Right? Right.)

Oh, and I seriously love the mini heart in the owl punch.  If that punch ever retires I may also have to retire.

If you wanna win this stamp set - there's still time! I am gonna extend until the 12th!! (Monday) You all come back after the weekend and procrastinate on the blogs, admit it!!

  3. Darn it! You've found me and my multi-comment procrastination scheme out.
    I LOVE scraps too, Mr. Rhea Skomorowski (haha) also has issue with the slivers of scrap papers I keep.

    Fantastic card!

    I too stay away from Regatta crowds, but the day off is only for Townies! LOL

  4. We went to the regatta when we lived in there. Once. The crowds were a bit much as we had 2 small kids as well. Took the bus down and a cab back. Nuff said. I'm afraid of cards! Not just patterns lol.
