What a fantastic way to use your oval dies!

The original source for this card

is the exclusive site for SU demonstrators

so I can't provide the original source =(

This last card is one of my favorite

baby cards of all time using a skinny

SU embossing folder, a SU sentiment

from the A Word For You set,
and some foam tape to raise the cloud,
blue sail and the top layer of water.
Sponging a light blue color on the
edges of the cloud makes it pop!

QUICK THANK YOU NOTES

Quick and easy note cards using some

lovely paper from Paper Source.

Gold heart stickers from Stampendous

at Cranberry Hill and stamp set

is SU Sincere Salutations (retired).
