Blueberry Thank yous!

These are not my own ideas...the credit belongs to Lauren Meader who is a brilliant crafter!! If you haven't spent any time on her blog you must!! You will not be dissapointed at all. So, she showed THIS awesome project on her blog and I decided I had to copy it. You see, blueberries are one of my all time favorites!! Growing up, I lived next door to the 'Blueberry Capital of the World'. I raked blueberries when I was a kid for a summer job. Now, talk about hard labour!! I've never done anything so hard in all my life. So, you can see that I had to copy these awesome blueberries for myself. I didn't have the specific stamps that Lauren used so I rooted around to see what I did have. I used a circle stamp from my Papertrey Ink's Beautiful Blooms and a little leaf from the Out on a Limb Addition set. I did a bit of the rock and roll technique on the blueberries to give them some variation in color. And I also did a lot of stamping off....as Lauren had done on her project! I made the A2 size card first using some of that great blue gingham paper. Then, I tried to create another card with a different "look" but I just liked that gingham paper so well with the blueberries that I just couldn't do it!! So, the round card was created!! Supplies: Stamps: Green Thumb, Beautiful Blooms, Out on a Limb Addition set (all Papertrey Ink); Ink-Ballet Blue, Buckaroo Blue, Old Olive (all Stampin' Up!); Paper - Whisper White (Stampin' Up!), designer paper (Making Memories); Other - Sewing Maching, black thread, black organdy ribbon and blue satin ribbon (Michaels), Coluzzle, round nestabillities (Spellbinders), Cuttlebug (Provocraft).
