If you read my blog post from yesterday, you know I've been in my room trying to organize my treasures. Sadly, when I'm putting away paper, my mind starts to wander and all these snippets need a place to live. The inspiration for this snippet card was the silver glittered cardstock. I had many pieces too small to use for most things, but too big to part with. The piano keys were perfect. Sadly, I had to cut most of them one at a time. Note to self, sometimes it's ok to throw away pieces. The base of the piano keys is the only piece that wasn't a snippet. Here's what I did on the inside.
I'm sure you've noticed there are no silver keys. If you are wondering...I do have plenty of silver slivers of cardstock left....I could have, but after doing it on the front of the card, I chose to go without. I'll be sharing this on Di's blog page. I hope you give snippet cards a try, they are fun and sometimes they go together easily and other times....well, you know!

There is a little girl named Lauryn and she is battling a really big meany....If you have a card, that would bring a smile to a little girl in a time when smiles are hard to find....please get all the details from
Cornelia. Here's the card that I'm sending Lauryn. I made it some time ago, and it's one of my favorites. Until now, I couldn't bear to part with it....I think Lauryn needs this card much more than I do.

ReplyDeleteLovely card you're sending to Lauryn too. xxx
Absolutely brilliant, if painstaking, Mary. And the inside is perfect - I'd have left the glitter off too. Elizabeth xx
ReplyDeleteWhat a tedious job it must have been cutting those keys. But it's well worth it for us that are enjoying - not making - it! Very special. And your card for Lauryn is so sweet. It's bound to cheer her. I need to get something made for her...Hopefully it will cheer her & strengthen her for the fight she is making. TFS & Hugs
