I just couldn't help myself...

...I dreamt about this card in my sleep. I needed to make a card my little boy who's graduating Kindergarten in a couple weeks, and a design idea popped into my head while I was sleeping... It was robots, and I knew I had a little stash of Cogsmo hidden soewhere in the craft closet.

I also wasn't 100% thrilled with the first card I made for the showdown at 2 Sketches 4 You so I used the sketch to make the card.

This card is also a milestone... I used acrylic for the first time. Woo-hoo! I even cuttled it with the swiss dots folder.

I totally love this card... Even Mr. Sure-It-Looks-Great-I-Guess liked it! Woot!
And here it is (front of the card):

Close up of the cogs, you can't really tell but they are different heights... I used foam stickies...


See.. I cuttled acrylic! Also the circle paper is a design I did myself in Design Studio and then cut with the cricut!

I totally love it!
