Thanks for Checking on Me--Just Checking On You

I haven't posted in over a month!!!  WHAT!!!!!  I was absolutely horrified to see just how long it's been since I posted a new creation.  I knew I had been missing for awhile an other things in life had consumed my time, but I really had no idea just how long it had been until I sat down to work on this post yesterday.  I am sooooo sorry I've been MIA for so long.  Thanks to those of you who did some checking on me and let me know you missed seeing these posts.    I can't promise I won't be gone so long ever again, but I can promise I will try to do a better job of communicating when life gets in the way.

Thanks for checking on me now this sweet worm from the Check You Out stamp set is checking on you.  I made both a simple stamp and stepped up version of this card.  

The simple version uses only stamps, ink, and paper.  It looks like the worm is peeking out from behind the library card pocket and sending love from above.

The stepped up version has the library card pocket matted on Real Red cardstock and adhered with dimensionals.  There is a banner of DSP peeking out from behind the library card and the worm is fussy cut and layered on top with a Baker's Twine Bow and Holiday Rhinestone accents.

There are no longer library card pockets at my library.   Everything is tracked via computer and bar code.  I kind of miss those library card pockets.  How about you?
