I give you my heart!

Let me first start this post by saying I LOVE LOVE LOVE turtles!  We used to have 2 itty bitty turtles when I was little, wonder what happen to them?  I found out this new digital stamp company called Whimsie Doodles, I think I found them through SheatLoads.  Well she has the cutest little turtles!!!!!  I got so excited, I took out my coloring pencils and started to have fun, then I realized that I wanted the turtle to be holding a heart and not the flower he was holding.  So I manipulated the image (I hope Melissa doesn’t mind)  and after a few copy and pastes I ended up w/ this little guy.  Same guy but w/o the flower.

Here are some close ups of the image and the card itself.  The card is a gift card holder using a coffee sleeve – Project Tuesday’s idea!  It is missing the gift card, ’cause I have to go get one for my mom, and I haven’t decided which one to get her.

  5. very cute, Dalis! what did you use to colour mister turtle?

    i love the idea of the coffee cup sleeve, too… i wish the store at the corner used plain corrugated ones so i could play with them, but theirs all have print on them.

  6. Awwww… this card holder is so stinkin’ cute! I love your DP and the image. Great idea with the cup sleeve. Now I’ll have to save mine from Starbucks – one more thing to make my “collection” even huger. Thanks for playing in 2RB’s challenge.

  7. Hi Dalis,

    Got your comment re: Lisa’s blog and how I set up her comments to have an image header and footer. It has been awhile since I originally did it but I know the code is in there so I will dig it out and do up a post in the next couple of days on my blog with how I did it. WordPress might be a bit different than Blogger but I will look into that as well.

    Just finishing up a sewing project and then would be happy to do this & let you know when it is posted.
