Doesn't it make you a little crabby when you forget someone's birthday! Say, like your parents, kid, brother or sister. Yup, it does me! I have to put it on my computer calendar and set a reminder a month ahead of time, then two weeks, then a week and then two days before. That's when the sticky note goes on the computer. But, I get busy and still forget to call or get the card in the mail.
As organized as I am that is one thing I am bad about. I have to ask my husband how old I am! That is why when I saw Crabby Cranson, I knew exactly what I wanted to use him for! And I knew Whimsy Sentiments that were perfect!
So here is the plan....I am going to keep this card. Then just email it to everyone in advance and say I am sorry but you know I will forget to call or send a card so here! Deal with it. I love you and that is all that matters.
Now, I used Basic Stitched Ovals Die Set and the backround water was layered with Making Waves Stencil using VersaMagic Ink and a Chinesse White pencil to bring out the highlights. I then used Clear tonic drops in clear. Then yellow on the paper to make it look embossed.
I really had fun with this card. This old crab is a keeper!
