In The Groove

A while back I won some awesome blog candy from Wendy at Inkin' & Thinkin'. Here are all the cool things she sent:


She sent 10 of her class layouts all cut out and ready to use. I am so enjoying all the goodies. The thing I was most excited to get, though, was the BoBunny toolkit; specifically the bendable ruler. I am just now getting a chance to use it. I sat down tonight and whipped out 4 cards with it. Totally love the results!

I've been inspired by Maria at Card Inspired and her "Project Reduce Scraps". I used this Chloe's Closet Cider Days paper and rub-ons kit. I'd like to say that no 12x12 papers were cut in this endeavor, but alas, I had to cut up the dotted paper which was the only whole sheet left in the kit. I've still got enough scraps in this kit to do probably 4 more cards but that will have to wait until another day!



To create these, I bent the ruler up into a shape until I was happy with it. Then I traced it onto the patterned paper (the one on the top) and carefully cut it out. I then used that to trace the same shape onto the cardstock and cut it out. On the one I used a third layer and made it the same way. I then laid these layers over the patterned paper on the bottom. The kit came with some nice rubons and a ribbon which I used as well.
