So, here's the scoop. At Shopping Our Stash, the DT wants us to create a card inspired by our shower curtain.
Yes, my initial reaction was, "You want us to do what? Really?!" It would surely be much easier if we had a cute, trendy shower curtain like the ones the DT showcased. In our case, we've had the same shower curtain for about 30 years. When we were first dating/married, we used to laugh at our parents' homes -- two homes that had looked exactly the same as long as either of us could remember. Who's laughing now? :)

This card is a big change for me because it is more involved than my typical card. And, it is definitely a card that is going to need to be hand-delivered since it has two layers of foam adhesives and die cuts hanging over the edges.
This was also my first attempt at using embossing/modeling paste on my own. Thanks to the wonderful instructors at Simon Says Stamp CREATE for introducing me to this cool medium. :)

Parting Thoughts
Looking forward to an OWH sketch, blogging about a couple of cards I've worked on this past week, and watching some football. To top it off, our weather is supposed to be FABULOUS!
