(This is my second post for today, since I will be taking the day off from posting tomorrow.)
The most recent challenge over at Everything but the Kitchen Sink was another crazy one...Toothpicks! If you hop over to this blog, you will be amazed at what beautiful and creative cards these chicks came up with. I was just gonna blow this one off after seeing their samples. No way could I compete with those ideas...or could I???
So, my idea ended up being really no idea, because I decided to use the toothpick...as a TOOTHPICK!
A very CAS (clean & simple) card that I am planning on using as my husbands Valentine's Day card. How's that for being early and on top of stuff?!
This card measures 4 1/4" x 4 1/4" and the olive was made using a circle punch. I just re-punched the green circle and shaved off one side to make it more oval. Then I used a smaller punch for the pimento. I cheated (I didn't have a stamp with this phrase one it!) and printed out the sentiment on my computer... I don't know if I've ever made a card without any stamping at all. This may be a first.So, is this a cop out, or am I an evil genius? You pick.
Have a good one...

Karin, I was going through my google reader and this caught my eye. I clicked on it for a closer look and it was you! Another great card chicky! Nope-not a cop out, it is definately evil (nor not so evil) genius. :)

Ingenuity can be an amazing thing! I love your take on olives, even though I can't stand them. As for being a cop out? I don't think so!
