This is my card for today's inspiration challenge. This is what inspired me.
This is my story!
1. Are you ever sorta disappointed in what your upload looks like in the thumbnail? Sometimes they really pop, sometimes they blend into the background never to be seen, sometimes they even disappear into thin air! And, sometimes they look like something they are not! Like today....this is not a mummy hand! The sentiment thingys make it look like mummy wrapping in the thumbnail! Aww Phooey!!
2. I got this coolest new paper in a Cosmo Cricket kit thingy and I was so excited to use it! It has a bunch of really cool different patterns, all of which are really happy! And then last night I found these cute little cherry rhinestone brads and they were perfect with the paper.
3. When I saw the red and white polka dotted oven mitt I knew that was the one, even though it wasn't black and white. My first thought was, okay concentrate really hard to make sure that you have the thumb on the left side (like the picture) and I actually got it right! Little things are important to me! Snort!

Holy Moly! I sure like your creatively in your cards. I was thinking about a mitt, a dress, and so on...but failed! Anyhow, this is so cute. Great card for the famous cook you know. Love the cherries and just the whole card is as cute as can be.

Oh this makes me feel giddy, I LOVE that paper! Used some Cosmo Cricket Early Bird myself today, only little sketch strips...I barely have cut in to my paper pad...it's tooo purty! LOVE your mitt with the sparkly cherries on top! And it doesn't look like a mummy....just an oven mitt for a GIANT, SNORTLE!

How cute is this?!! I love the paper and the brads, and the shape is soooo creative!
OK, I can see how it MIGHT remind one of a mummy's hand, if he or she were to stare at it with the eyes squinted! And only if he or she had a wicked imagination!
