SC228 - Cleaning Out Some Stash

How many things have I bought thinking "I will use these right up!"? I was able to use one of these DCWV note cards as the base for my SC card tonight (of course, one note card ain't really making much of a dent in cleaning out my stash)! It's fun for something easy like a bright, cute birthday card!


On another note, earlier today, Charlotte came along and insisted I make something for her. I made a quick butterfly charm out of shrink plastic. (Much better than drying to drill a hole in a giant rock that she originally thought would make a good pendant.)


Note: I am only showing you the charm since Charlotte's face and dress were covered in the hot chocolate she was drinking at the time! (If that girl made it through one meal without getting dirty, I would alert the media!)

P.S. Stamped with Staz-on, colored with prismas and then into the oven at 300 for about 3 minutes.
