World Goat Day IG hop!

 

Hello!  This is a first for me.  I'm in a World Goat Day IG hop today.  How fun, right?!  To start at the beginning go here IG

I dusted off my Cricut for this one and dug into my paper stash.  It felt good to make this type of card again.  It's been a minute.  I mixed in a lot of different patterned papers.  I even stamped tiny hearts on the main patterned paper to create some more interest in the background.  I'm planning on donating this card to Cards for Kindness.


Supplies:

My Mind's Eye - Lost & Found Breeze - patterned papers
Cricut cartridge - Nate's ABC - goat @ 3 3/4"
Unity Stamp Co - Stitched & Scalloped Sentiment Nesting dies (sign)
Unity Stamp Co - Dog - Eared Days - hearts stamped in the background
Tim Holtz - Alphanumeric Tiny Type Lower - 'cool kid' on sign
Charcoal, pink and grey shimmer cardstocks

Thanks for stopping by today.  Come hop along with us for some cute inspiration using goats.
