I'm batty for you...

If you've read my blog for any length of time, you know I like to use AI images whenever I think they'll look great on cards. I recently found one of a little bat that I thought was so cute. I printed out four of the same image to make cards to donate.

I sized the image to fit in a 4" X 4" space and used it on a bookbinder card. The DSP on the spine is from an old 12" X 12" Halloween paper stack. I've had it for years and can't seem to make a dent in it.

The sentiment was printed with my computer and popped up with foam tape. The only embellishment was a bit of purple twine tied in a bow around the spine before it was glued down.

I thought this image was neutral enough that it would work for either a girl or a boy. I didn't add any gems or sparkly embellishments so as to keep it gender-neutral.

I created a mini-explosion pop-out for the inside sentiment. This DSP is another piece from the same 12 X 12" stack I mentioned above. If you want to know how I made the pop-out, check out the instructions in this post.

We arrived home from our camping adventure on Wednesday afternoon after spending four days in Itasca State Park, site of the headwaters of the Mississippi River.

This is the plaque located at a point on the banks of Lake Itasca where the Mississippi begins its journey to the Gulf of Mexico.

My DH and our dog Mickey enjoyed a little time in the shallow water. The rocks you see in the photo show where the lake waters end and the Mississippi begins (it flows to the right in this photo).

Here's a photo of our little camper, parked near the Headwaters Interpretive Center. A lot of people might find it too small, but it works perfectly for us!

Thanks so much for stopping by, and remember to laugh--a little or a lot--every day.
