This past weekend when I was working on my DT cards, I was seriously lacking mojo. I was really struggling to create anything. Since I need some get well cards for several friends and family members, I decided to just push through and work on some cards for them. I skipped flowers and frills so I can use this for a man. Although the scalloped strip looks crooked above, it is straight. The card opens there and it is partially open making it look crooked.
This picture shows the opening a little better.
The umbrella is paper pieced using Puddle Fun. Check out how cute this set is. It brings a smile to my face every time I look at it.
Please be sure to stop by the rest of the DT to see their lovely eye candy and Lindsay will have a new freebie posted on her site. The DT posts will be up by 10 am ET. Leanne will be back with us next week.
