A few months back when Craft Critique put out a call for reporters I got a rare surge of bravery and submitted a test review for the site. I was so surprised and excited to hear that they had picked me! And my first review was just posted here.
The fine print: whenever I link to one of my reviews I have to mention that I was not paid or bribed for my opinion.
Since my next review will be on Clearsnap's Smooch Spritz I decided to make a card to celebrate. And I needed something to do while my husband was finishing up our taxes tonight.
On this card I started with the antique text paper that I had sprayed for the review - it has the meanings of girl's names! Then added a distress flower that I had made with the Smooch Spritz and a McGill scallop punch a while back. It's topped off with and a Papertrey button and twine. Purple cardstock from Stampin' Up matted it quite nicely and then I decided to use the "celebrate" sentiment from one of Dawn McVey's Papertrey stamp sets. The rhinestones are from Kaiser Craft and the best value on the market I might add - 100 adhesive rhinestones for $2. You can see some of the dimension here:

Now the hardest part for me is figuring out how to mail this puppy. I am always worried about everything getting smashed, but a padded envelope just seems like overkill. Any advice?
