Hey there, Happy Monday to ya! Today is the second day of Shortcuts week over at 365 Cards! I am excited to get started and have a weeks worth of fun things to show you. Today's challenge is to create a window using plastic. I used this super thick acrylic sheet they have over at Shortcuts. Its SO great to work with. I really do love it. Here is today's card:
I made up a shaker window with some of my new Hero Arts love I got in the mail last week. I am still working out how to use it all, but look forward to lots of fun creating. I embossed the background cloud design block with Zing powder. Cut out my window and added some beads and some of the Hero Arts images made with shrinky-dink. I also used the screen shadow stamp block on the front (its subtle) and some faux stitching. 
This card was a bit of a challenge to make after having some days off. It definitely doesn't pay to take a break. There is more frustration and less fun. Plus the outcome is always a bit, shall we say... curious. I really like how this one turned out in the end considering how it started and how long it took me! I am glad to get my creative juices flowing again this week after my "hiatus" (if you can call it that). I will see you back here tomorrow for something else fun to share with you from Shortcuts. Head on over to their site and check it out. And hey, have a glorious monday will ya!loves

Awesome card! Love the colors, the rainbow, and the shaker window!
This makes me think of those puffy stickers I used to collect when I was little. The colors are so cool! Great card!! Thanks for inspiring!

Great card, but then yours always are, thanks for sharing, hopefully life is settling down a bit for the summer :) and you can play all day...
I love this! I have to try a shaker one of these days!
This is super fun! What a great idea! You did a fabbie job! It is frustrating to have things not turn out the way see them in your mind's eye! I was making a card on Saturday night and tore it apart about 6 times and I am still NOT happy with it. LOL But we are our own worst critics.
So cute! I love the colors and the shaker in the corner!
WoW!!! Kristie its amazing. I always love your colors. Just love the card.
