Snail Mail

I made a quick birthday card recently since I'm trying to build up my stash. As a bonus, I made a dent in my scraps pile.

I'm also trying to use cuts from my Cricut cartridges that I've never used before. This snail is from Paisley, which is one of the first cartridges I bought. I realized there are a lot of cuts on that cartridge that I've never used, so I plan on changing that.   


I love this color combo; it think it's perfect for a little boy. Here's the inside.




Thanks

  2. Hi, Evelyn! Since this is my first visit to your blog, let me say that I LOVE your blog title and description - so appropriate! Wonderful card for the Crafty boots challenge - sweet snail - and I especially like that you have paper pieced the snail to match the background - and yes, the colors look fabulous together! May I extend an invitation to come see my Crafty Boots card, too? I'd love for you to take a peek. hugs, de
