Isabella's Sketchbook Challenge...Cut It Up

This week at Isabella's Sketchbook our challenge is to cut it up.  We are to use 3-D, paper tole, or decoupage on our creations. I chose the paper tole technique and printed the Cup Stack image from Isabella's Boutique three times. The bottom cup has three layers, the middle cup has two layers and the top cup has only one.  I realize that not all the cups had to be the same but that was the way my mind was working the day I made this sweetie.  The paper is from an older, and still a favorite, DCWV shimmer paper called The Luxury Stack. I had a difficult time shading the cups with the shimmer paper so I left them plain.  I know that you can color on shimmer but that does not mean that I can color on shimmer. LOL  But I wanted to use this paper as I love the coordinating patterns that gave my card an elegant look. If I had seen these cups in a store I so would love to drink a bit of coffee out of them. Being scissor challenged however, means that this is not the best of my skills. My ISC teamie Viv says that she pledges to do her best with every creation, thus so have I.  Some people have it all and others just have to be satisfied with normal. I am choosing to be satisfied with my normal self. Below is a side view of the card to show all the layers. I added one of Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps little Happy Birthday sentiments from the Poppies and Greetings set released last spring. All in all I love the card and I hope you do too.  

As always we would love for you to join us in this Challenge.  You must use one of Isabella's images to enter but as luck would have it Isabella is having a sale on all her digi's today. Each digi is only $2.00.  While there you can see all the stunning creations provided by the DT.

Today's Blessing:  I had a wonderful time this weekend in Syracuse. New York.  I was able to do another Make and Take with Our Daily Bread Designs.  While there I met a fellow Breadstick, Debi Southard.  What better blessing there is when we can meet a fellow teamie.  You are already friends through the internet so when you meet face to face it is pure joy!  I think that's what it will be like when we get to heaven.  We will get to meet so many of God's great men and women of the Bible.  Having spent so much time with them in God's word we will know them and be able to talk to them as dear friends. Even though we have never meet them here on earth.
