My upload is late today because my grandma is here visiting and we spent the morning picking blackberries and making my very first batch of jam... hope it is good because those darn blackberry vines tore me arms and hands up!
Today's Technique Challenge was to use fabric on our cards. I opted to cut out the umbrella with one of my Cuttlekids dies. The umbrella pole, shovel, pail, ball, innertube, snorkel and goggles are all raised with Crystal Effects.

What a wonderful card...I love your cloth umbrella. How nice that you and your grandma spent time together. I LOVE blackberry jam...yummmmm, and the home-made kind is the very best.

I bet that the blackberry jam is probably the most expensive jam you have ever had, but it has lots of memories that are priceless. I love how your little umbrella looks. Great idea.
