Remember when shaker cards were all the rage? I would marvel at this interactive embellishment! I ordered this Sushi set (Stampendous) from Eclectic Paperie a few weeks ago and decided to try my hand at a shaker card. Let me just tell ya.....I am shaker challenged! I redid this card about 10 times! Ripping things off, starting over.... had micro beads EVERYWHERE! I ended up with this. I stamped on a transparency and colored it in with my Copics from the back. I cut it out using my Spellbinders Nestibilities. I also used them for the fishbowl as well. I added the foam all around the perimeter of the opening of the bottom piece. Add your microbeads and attach the top of the fishbowl. I added the starfish button to the bowl. I cuttlebugged the white background, added a ribbon, stamped the sentiment......and 4 hours later it was done! : ) Wednesday, May 21, 2008

It figures that you would do this well with your first one! This is just adorable! I love everything about it.
One of the best shakers I've seen! Very nice!

OMG Michele...this is the first time that I visit your blog..it's awesome (I'm going to add you to my blog list)!! I have to start by saying that Cortney is just a beautiful little girl. My background is in special education and now I am a speech language pathologist. Actually I am just starting to create speech and language programs for children with CP. I would love to find out more about your special little girl!!!
