Unscripted # 12

Good Morning all and Happy Saturday to you! I have exciting news for you, I am now nationally recognized as an Emergency Medical Technician, how cool is that! This all started when my husband and I realized there was a need for volunteer EMTS in our town especially women. We thought lets do it but about halfway through the course I was like this is nuts, I am just a volunteer what was I thinking wanted to quit and all that negative stuff! Well thankfully I got past the hump and I am quite proud of my husband and I!



I love this new Unscripted Sketch it's open to anything you can possibly imagine or create blindly which is my method of choice...



This card was created because I happened upon some old stash that I won at Scrap booking retreat it had a lot o die cuts which I rarely work with but I decided I was going to force myself to use these babies up. I started off using a base of coordinating patterned paper and layered with a neutral card stock after stamping it with flourishes and simple sentiments. I really like the die cut that was a twig this was my favorite and initially I had the three charms dangling down hanging from the hemp, I liked this look but something inside told me to rotate so I did. I used a corner rounder on all the corners of the layered center piece and stamped the sentiment. I added a few brads and the last parenthesis from the die cuts and sanded the edges and inked others. I used pop up strips for dimension and well, that's just about it...

I hope you can stop by and join the fun! Have a awesome day! BR-T

And I forgot to say, that I was in scrapfriend withdrawal last week, as I too, was on vacation! I did enjoy my husband's company, lol...as he's been gone all summer! YUCK! But...it does feel good to get home, and get caught up with my Scrap Friends, and all the happenings!! Maybe now, I can scrap me up a card! :)
