Like a wink and a smile

I consider myself a scrapbooker and not so much of a card maker.  Some days I barely have time to complete a layout, but after completing Counterfeit Kit Challenge's 2nd mini challenge I may include more card making into my repertoire.  This challenge was to create layout and then create a coordinating card with the leftover scraps.  What a great idea!  And with everything already out and small pieces strewn about, it really was quite easy.

First, here's my layout:

Used one of those distressed pockets and lots of fun embellishments from my "Picnic Parade" smorgasbord.

And now here's the coordinating card...

I just stayed with the fun theme, added some stitching, and made a pinwheel out of a  tiny square scrap.

 And here they go together...
like a wink and a smile!

  1. I love the pinwheels - such a fun addition to your card and perfect for a ride on the carousel too. Love the tickets splurging out of the pocket. Brilliant!
