Happy Sunday my friends.....
PLEASE NOTE: You are not at the wrong blog....I changed the background as I was tired of the bright yellow and blue. One of these days I am going to find a background for this blog and stick with it...in the meantime...welcome to the new look.
Playing along today at OWH with this sketch challenge:
I had only used this stamp set by Taylored Expressions once and I wanted to make a fun card, so how about some lightning bugs in a jar...maybe at a picnic or in the back yard. When I was a kid spending summers in Illinois, I always loved catching them. Good memories!
To make the bugs look like they really are in the jar, I used vellum over them.
Paper pieced the jar lid and used foam adhesive to give it a little flair.
I have also entered this card into the Cue Word Challenge
Thanks for stamping by, and an extra special {mwah} for leaving a comment and/or following my blog....

What a fantastic, clever use of vellum! We called 'em lightening bugs too... and they bring back great childhood memories for me too. :) I like the new blog look too.
