A Scarecrow, A Bird & A Splinted Finger

Good Morning! I'm a little late in posting a new card, as I have an "issue" with my middle finger. Apparently, I've torn a ligament and the finger will be in a splint for 3 weeks. YIKES! That's forever for a cardmaker!!! Anyhoo...I am allowed to take the splint off for very brief periods such as showering and that means, cardmaking, too...yeah right! Like I've ever made a card in a brief period! LOL Most of my cards take me 2-3 days by the time all is said and done. But I'll do what the good doctor says and splint my finger 95% of the time.

This card features a new Doodle Pantry Digi Image, called "Scarecrow Birdie" to be released on August 5th and is my Clearly Delightful Monthly Challenge card submission. This month's challenge, "Tag You're It!" is to use a tag anywhere on your card, and I used the Nestabilities Tags Trio Die for the sentiment. If you'd like to play along in the challenge, and I hope you do, Laurie Wilson has some fun blog candy and you receive a free digi image just for playing along! Now it doesn't get any better than that! AND! You have until August 19th to submit your card to Laurie Wilson to qualify. For more detailed information in participating in the challenge, click here.

Below, is a fuzzy photo (sorry, I think I was trying to hold back a sneeze) of the card interior showing the coordinating papers to match. Remember, you can right-click on any photo to view it larger.
