Sew Special

Anyone know who Special Agent Oso is? The opening song goes: "he's Oh so special." Just made me think of him when I put my title for this post...yeah, I think I hang out with my 3 year old too much.

So, every now and then I pull out a Cricut cart (at random) and look through it and make something. It's kind of a personal challenge. So last night I pulled out Happily Ever After. I didn't really want any of the characters, so I went with an Icon.
This uses the JaqGus Icon at 2 1/2". I did some shading and added real pink thread. The papers are Pink Petticoat (digipapers that I just LOVE!). 3 buttons from my stash (probably considered vintage), nesties and Lipstick Ranger Ink. Of course, some sewing. And boy did I make a MESS with the glue! But I cleaned it up as best as I could.
This is going to my ma who put in an "order" for 6 cards to send to friends. I especially like this because it's so versatile:

Sew Special
Sew Grateful
Sew Much Fun
Etc!

The layout is Card Positioning Systems CPS181. Thanks so much for stopping by!

Another pretty card with pink and brown. Funny how you talked about pulling out the Cricut. Beautiful sewing...I didn't know you sewed up till about a year ago. This really is fun going back in time....it's all new to me and I'm enjoying it.
