A Vintage Pick-A-Nick Basket ...

Happy Thursday, Imaginary Stampin' Friends!

Today's card project was created for my spring-like card stash following a fab sketch created by Karen Giron for her 'Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge.' For all the challenging deets, including a lookie at the sketch I followed, clicky HERE.

And here's a lookie at my card:

A l'il bright, huh? For the ginormous view, if you can stand it, clicky right on the photo.

I stamped my vintage pick-a-nick basket on a scrap of DP, and stamped the tulips image on a die-cut circle of Whisper White. I colored the tulips with Prismacolor Pencils blended with Gamsol (OMS), and paper-pieced the pick-a-nick basket onto the tulip image. Clear as mud, yes?

I added some machine stitching, a twill ribbon and bow, a vintage button, a l'il die-cut tag, and finis. So easy, even I could do it!

For all the exciting product info, check out the supply list, below.

Soooooooo, since I didn't get to spend any time with Sheila or Reid-the-Wild-Child yesterday, I'll have to bore regale you with another computer-techie story. Believe me, there's no shortage of these crazy stories. Same DH as yesterday's "Control A" story, but a different client.

Client: "You've got to fix my computer. I urgently need to print a document, but the computer won't boot properly and I'm gettin' a weird error message."

DH: "What does it say?"

Client: "Something about an error and non-system disk."

DH: "Look at your machine. Is there a floppy or a CD inside?"

Client: "No, but there's a sticker saying there's an Intel inside. How do I get that one out?"

Thanks for swingin' by ... hope your day is fantastical!

~Hugs,
