TMS #230 Reminder and Playing Around

Hello!  This is my 2nd post today.  I was playing around with some cut files on my Silhouette and felt this was a perfect way to remind everyone of our Anything Goes challenge on Tuesday Morning Sketches.  I wanted to play along with Scrapping Everyday Miracles challenge, too.  This month's theme is Friends Forever.  What a lovely theme!  I used the sketch that they are featuring which is from Page Maps (love that site!).

The cut file I got from the Silhouette Online Store and actually the bird is facing the other direction. I just flipped it around.  The cut file, bird on twig, is by Miss Kate's Cuttables.  She's just announcing her new Design Team and oh how I wish I could be one of those lucky people!

Anyway, back to the card.  The paper is by one of my new favorites, Lori Whitlock.  Cardstock is from Raisin Boat - best dang card stock EVER and the sentiment is from Raisin Boat as well.  The flags I cut from my favorite, it is my go-to die set from MFT.  Pearls are from Recollections that I colored black with a Copic marker.  By the way, use a Sharpie.  The Copic marker doesn't fully dry.  I colored these pearls 3 weeks ago and they're still sticky.

Anyway, I do love the card.  I hope you do, too!
