Hi Paper Lovers! This is Liz for Liz's Paper Loft and I'm thrilled to pieces to be a Guest Designer for My Creative Time again. Especially since now that we know Emma's son Aaron is on the mend and getting stronger everyday!
Since Emma usually has her Friday Tip of the Day, I'm going to give a little tip. For today's project I wanted to create a card using clear cardstock. I have noticed that when trying to cut clear cardstock it doesn't alway cut all the way through. Could be because my blade needs to be replaced. But I have a simple fix, just cut it out twice, using multi cut function. Now I know this seems like a no brainer, however, sometimes even those that are experienced forget the simple stuff! :)
Go to my blog for the complete recipe!
Even though baby Aaron is getting stronger daily, please keep him and the whole family in your prayers!
Enjoy!
Love the hot air ballon, great, interesting card!

Very interesting card, using the see through card stock - a fun idea. I have to say, for yourself and Emma, please pass along how completely annoying for a 12 year old and very disrespectful it is to refer to him as "baby Aaron". If he can't say this for himself, there is something wrong there. No 12 year old would want this and perpetuating this is verbal abuse of a sort - the same as calling him a cruel name. Being 12 is hard enough - help him with the transition to adolescence by showing him respect.
