Nesty Love...

Hi everyone! Amazingly enough there are throngs of crafty individuals that need to be brought over to the dark side *insert evil laugh*. Can you believe that not everybody knows what a nesty is? Actually, I was one of those individuals not that long ago, but I tell you, its like M&M's. Once you have one, you're hooked - which by the way, I'm not even sure if I've got the right candy analogy here. Oh well, if I don't somebody please correct me. Anyway, the point is that I love my Nestabilities. I did a basic tutorial over at Clearly iStamp about Spellbinders Nestabilities and wanted to share the two cards I created afterwards with my die cuts. These two cards actually combine several of my favorite things - Nesties, Basic grey, Flower Soft, Kaisercraft Rhinestones, and of course some stamping. Ok, you got me... more than several here.

That first card is just a little one. It measures 3 1/4" x 5 1/2". I actually like that size. I swear that the "thank you" sentiment doesn't look so crooked in real life. The majority of the images used are from this month's FREE set with a $50 purchase over at Clear Dollar Stamps called Silhouette Wishes.

The 2nd card used that incredibly cool stuff - Flower Soft. I love that stuff - its so light, airy, fluffy, and it goes forever. I did add some Martha Stewart glitter to it for a different look. Its not the normal glitter, but some stuff that came in a sample package around the holidays. Its bigger and flatter looking. I also used the new Blossom die cut that I love too. Did I already say I love Nesties (lol). Here is a close up of the Flower Soft. Its a bit blurry, but does allow you to see the glitter affect a bit more. Its like mood bling.

Oh, and I did want to share my story from our little get away. It was a good trip, but just a couple of little hiccups. We ended up with a speeding ticket and when we got back to the condo, my sister relayed to us that the U-haul that she and hubby were driving while moving her into her new place was video taped "passing" through a red light - oops. Lets just say that our pockets are literally a couple hundred dollars lighter --- Grrr... I guess we were due considering its been years and years since you know who (not me) has gotten a speeding ticket.

Thanks for hanging and have a great Friday... and a super Easter weekend. Not sure if I'll be blogging or not.
