Hi Everyone. Happy Thursday night!
Tomorrow I'm going in for surgery, so it will be a quick post tonight… and I'm not going to get to my other challenge cards…. or the new goodies that arrived in my little brown box that was delivered by a large brown van…. until later this weekend.
I love this Stampin' Up! Build A Roo set. My hubby is an Aussie, so I've seen a fair number of these guys – both the red and grey varieties. They really are amazing creatures, so I wasn't surprised that Stampin' Up! brought this set out in Australia before releasing it here. I remember the night before the catalog was released for preview to the demos…. there was a lot of talk on the demo only websites about whether or not this set would make it into the catalog. A lot of people – me included – were happy to see that it did.
I decided that for this card, I would water color the grey variety – as the red would have clashed with the Real Red card stock. I also stamped the heart balloons twice. The second time, I cut them out and mounted them on top. I cut out a heart for the pouch with my Heart to Heart punch – using the little heart.
The brad is from the Build a Brad set. This set is very versatile as you can customize it to fit any layout that you want. In this case, I punched a second heart and added it to the brad. I decided I wanted to carry on the "circle" theme on the ribbon and echo that with a pierced heart. Jaydee tip: to do this, I punched out a heart with my Full Heart punch and positioned it on my cardstock – with a little dotto – and then used my paper piercer to work my way around the template I had just created. Once I was all the way around, I removed the template and voila…. a pierced heart.

I hope you have a fabulous Friday. For those of you traveling tomorrow – have a safe journey. For the rest of you, I hope you have time to do the things you love – with those you love the most.
Peace and hugs
Jaydee
