Mice and Strawberries Thank You Card


While shopping at HM Ben Franklin Crafts, my eyes spied the cutest Doodlebug 6x8 paper pad (berry sweet), Doodle Cuts set ( berry sweet treats), and icon sprinkles (bitty berries).  I think they just jumped into my shopping cart and followed me home. LOL!  I love the paper pad because not only is it super adorable, but each sheet when folded forms a perfect 4x6 card blank.  I was amazed that I found all the papers I needed for die cutting, ( mice, basket, strawberries and flowers) in my scrap bin. Not sure why, but I get a crafter's high when I can use up scraps that might normally be thrown in the trash. Some say obsessed but I say thrifty.  At first I was going to use the dies 'thanks A BUNCH' to make the words on the card front, but it just didn't look balanced.  On my desk I have a baggie of cut words that didn't get used on other projects.  In this baggie I discovered the perfect script 'Thanks' in blue foil...big SMILE! Sometimes I think the crafting gods direct me to the perfect crafting solutions.  Aren't I a lucky crafter?  Oh yes, I LOVE, LOVE the tiny Doodlebug 3D strawberry stickers so I HAD to find a place for them on this card.  Don't you think they add just the right sparkling sweet touch to the adorable mice?
