Microbeads!

Yet another paper-crafting supply that I wish someone had told me about long ago. Bubbles in the bathtub. It's totally awesome!!

(Got the idea from Mel Stampz.)



And here's a closeup 'cause it is just so cool (plus I love showing all my cards' imperfections really, really clearly).



*sigh* I love using non-traditional baby colours to make baby cards.

*sigh* I also love this digi. I don't normally use a digi more than once (silly I know but I have a huge collection of freebies) but this one is just perfect for baby cards. It's a freebie from MelonHeadz Illustrating.

For:

Allsorts: free & easy
Totally Gorjuss: all about boys
Sweet Stampin': for the boys
Cards and Scrap: punches & dies
Crafter's Companion: one for the boys
The Craft Garden: use a bird
The Poodles Parlour: bird's eye view
Art Impression Stamps: show me the bird
Crafty Creations: boyz to men
Jac-Inks: dies + texture
Digital Tuesday: spellbound
Kaboodle Doodles: use scissors
KB Challenges: something cute
The Kraft Journal: something borrowed or something blue + kraft
Pile It On: fav technique - using Prismacolor pencils, using nestabilities

    Such a darling card! I have a ton of micro beads that I only use now and again. They do make for some cool soap suds!

    Omygoodness, how cute this is! That baby in the bathtub image is simple adorable, and I love the microbead bubbles. Very, very clever. And I agree with you, a non-traditional color palette for a baby card is really eye-catching. I love the combo of polka dots and stripes you used. Thanks so much for sharing this with us at The Kraft Journal.

Okay, so ever since I started my blog (well, maybe not right from the get-go, it was probably a good six months or so before I realized you could change it from just "Leave your comment") I've tried to come up with something witty to type here.

*sitting with brow furrowed in concentration*...*staring at the ceiling while pursing lips*...*resting with head on hand while tapping foot*...

Nope, I still got nothing.
