This delightful little Tutu Toad from Stampendous has been staring at me everyday for five years from the shelf above my working desk and says, "please let me make someone smile today." This week I finally had the opportunity to make her wish come true. My friend is recuperating from knee replacement surgery and I think this googly-eyed tiny dancer might be just the encouragement she needs to get her tip toeing through the tulips again soon. Or at least doing some arabesques in rehab. In my first attempt at this Lawn Fawn Stitched Hillside scene, I created the pop up inside my card but I found my tulips were too floppy and I didn't like the way the pop up looked. So I aborted my original plan, as I do so often, and created my scene on the front of my card sans the pop up. I think my little lady and flowers are much sturdier raised with pop dots on this flatter surface.
I still had a vision of a cute pop up inside my card. I discovered this perfect get well pop up on the Close to My Heart Artfully Sent Cartridge in Cricut Design Space. There's just enough space for me to write my "tip toe through the tulips" note. Sometimes the best laid plans are replaced by even better ones.
Thanks for visiting.
Go forth and be fabulous.
Nancy
