and a partridge in a pear treeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Every two months as a design team we are issued a "challenge set" - each team member has to create a project using the same set, but "making it their own." This was our second challenge as a team, and this Pear Tree set was the set that was chosen.

You can see all the cards that were submitted here in the smARTworks gallery...but I want to share one here that I'm particularly proud of, just because it was soooooooo different from the other entries and soooooooo fun to make. I cracked up the entire time I was making it!

This card is a Stamp-a-ma-jig triumph. :) The saying uses 3 different sets - a portion of the saying above, ABC02 (alphabet set), and a single word from the Special Happy set, which you'll see again tomorrow...! Not sure where the line of brads came from...it is maybe a little too bold even, but it pulls the corners of the card in, and fills up the space nicely. For what it's worth.

Susan is having a little contest at her blog In the Works and you could win this set! Just think about one stamping item (just one?!) you'd like for Christmas, and leave a comment on this post here. Good luck to all!

(Still working on that envelope book tutorial for y'all...I'm just not able to make it a huge priority during the day, with so much other stuff going on...but the text is done, and I just need to tuck the pictures in.....that seems to take the longest!)
