Flutter By...Gracie's feathers...

Hey there inky friends!  Just popping in before I head out to shop at the Scrapbook Expo!  I decided before I go, I'd clean up my crafty workspace and use up some scrappy strips I've been collecting on my table.  Do you save your scrappy strips?  I do and usually spend Sunday's creating strippy backgrounds like this one.  They make great card background panels!  

I had a few digi images cut and sitting on the table too so I shuffled through them and found the perfect images/sentiment for this panel.  The digi images in Graciellie's Flutter Away set are so pretty.  I love the fonts in the sentiments too!  Did you know that she's offering this set (and the coordinating paper collection) for an awesome bundle price this week?  Check it out HERE.  

This card was assembled pretty quickly since I had almost everything pre-cut and at the ready.  All I had to do was glue the strips onto a white panel, I stitched the border (in hindsight, I wish I wouldn't have done that) and colored the feather.  I assembled the card and also incorporated some ribbon/twine that I had in my scrap pile. 

So now, my desk is clear and ready for another mess-making adventure!  WOO HOO!
