An Alien Hi!


It was so fun to take part in another SCS challenge today! I've neglected them for a while and have forgotten how fun they can be. Today is Friday, and the challenge is Limited Supplies. Today's was to use a stamp set that has been neglected for a while.

I pulled out Toy Box for this project. I got this set when there still was a separate scrapbook catalog offered by SU! My son, now 9, HAD to have this set! In addition to Toy Box, there are several other neglected items on this card: Pickles designer paper! ( I still have 2 full sheets of this particular paper, and most of the others too), Crystal Effects, Tangerine grosgrain (used most often in October), and the other neglected set, Shapes and Shadows. Layout is the same as I used on the previous card, it's a simple layout, but I like it!

Because Brett loves to get mail, I am secretly addressing this to him and giving it to the mail carrier today. He'll get in tomorrow's mail, and for .41 cents and a wee bit of my time this morning, he'll be grinning all day!

Happy first day of the weekend to you!

What a great Mom you are, Val!
I remember when Toy Box was initially offered in the scrapping catty too. Seems like ages ago!
Great paring of the papers for this card!
