Arigato!

So I wanted to post today to remind you all to pop on over to see my sistah's blogs for the Unique Blog Hop...and then I took a muscle relaxant for my back this morning, and slept and slept instead. It's a little later than I meant to do it, but conveniently this Internet thing keeps stuff until you're ready to look at it :)

I thought the perfect card today would be not only one that says THANKS for all the awesomeness that knowing these gals has brought to my life - but even uses some cool stuff that Donna gave me :)

Supplies: Lawn Fawn Let's Roll stamps & dies (from Donna!); Spectrum Noir markers; Mod Podge Dimensional Magic; Labels 5 Nesties; Carnelian EP & versamark; Memento Tuxedo Black ink

Photography skillz failed me here - but I glossied up the heart & the soy sauce bottle. I was going for an enameled chopstick look, but next time? I'm going to do the inking & embossing before die-cutting. Hanging onto those itty-bitty sticks while trying to heat emboss? Not so much.

I used the matching dies to cut out the wasabi, sushi, soy sauce, and chopsticks, and  then arranged them all onto the platter. So much fun - and can I say, these are the first matching dies that I've used that seem to cooperate with my unable-to-line-stuff-up ability? YEAH!

I kept the "C" colour scheme from Make the Day Special in mind while colouring - they have a choice of 3 different colour schemes this month. Something for everyone there :) And the Let's Roll set is available in their store. (Stamps & Dies)

Now to stay awake long enough to feed the kids supper! The good news is, my back is MUCH better (although not 100% yet). Luckily I have strong boys who will carry all the laundry baskets for me!
