{all you need}

... is love.

Well, and quite possibly the Bananas Foster Hagen Dazs Ice Cream I just discovered.

Wow.

But love is good too :)

So are owls.

So is Friends with Flair Friday! I have been longing to play with my August kit of the month goodies and I finally got to. I know, it's September! But it's just as cute, right??

I had SOOO much fun making this card. First, I was inspired by Julia's Ways to Use It Challenge, which was to use one sheet of paper. I had to make every paper element on the card from one piece of paper, and let me tell you, this was an awesome challenge. The card base is easy - that's half the sheet. But then I needed some FLAIR for Friends with Flair! :)

So I took a strip of the remainder and used my new MFT Die-Namics die to make the notepaper edge, except after I looked at the notepaper edge, I noticed how cute the opposite shape was too, so I used that. I sprayed it with Smooch Spritz (River Mossy) to make it all blue and glittery. Then, because I loved that look so much I punched some hearts out and sprayed them too.
I stuck them in between the diamonds I stamped the little border with in Cajun Craze. I stamped and colored the owl with Copics, and I used a Tim Holtz embossing folder on another strip to make a wood grain background behind the owl. The greeting and heart from the set are also in Cajun Craze.

So when I was done making my Just One Sheet card, I was left with this. I think I was pretty efficient!I was so efficient that I think it gave me good luck....

Or wait - did it give YOU good luck? I think it's you!! Because it just so happens I'm in possession of the magic blinkie that is going to win one of you TONS of free stamps! WHEE!!



I will do a random drawing on Saturday from my commenters and my lucky winner gets 25 Unity Stamps! Yipee! Congrats in advance.

And remember. Besides stamps - all you need is love :)
