When I saw the Moxie Fab challenge to use 10 embellishments on a card my first thought was, "Jessi is going to rock this one! She knows how to work some embellies!" (Can't wait to see your entries, Jessi!). I figured I'd be skipping this one but then remembered some of the goodies I'd picked up on my recent trip. I got a package of these cute little wooden peeps (Studio Calico) and knew that somewhere in my stash I had a "Better together" type of sentiment. After flicking through all my Unity binders I actually found two such sentiments and decided to go with the Helen Keller quote. Add some Lil' Inker rainbow dies and voila - a card with 10 embellishments! I'm pretty happy with how it came out especially as it still feels CAS to me. I'm also starting to see what all the Studio Calico fuss is about! Gonna have to check out their products a little further...
