I reckoned this was a good time to look through my Unity sentiments, which I don't use much. And this one worked well with a classic layout which let me use two coordinating papers as per the challenge. I edged my squares with silver and gold pens, and tied some handmade paper beads on for a bit of extra interest. The orange layer under the sentiment is crimped and rubbed lightly with some orange ink. with the DP I chose, I think I've earned my extra cookies .
Thanks for a fun challenge, Jen.

Is there such a thing as eyecookies!! I’m loving your papers, layout, and that super cute sentiment on the fun notebook page. Fantastic texture with the gold, silver, and corrugation, Sabrina! And those beads, OH THOSE BEADS! My eyes are drooling!!!

I am also drooling over those beads, but the whole thing is just so, so perfect! The tiny illustrations on the DP really work here - a larger design would be too much. Every extra detail makes this truly an outstanding creation.

I love your choice of dp...the little people are so whimsical! And that saying...doing something always beats "intentions"..I really like how you displayed it on the notebook type paper and the crimped layer. Fab card Sabrina!

Can't argue with that sentiment. Love the paper with the kids playing and your beads. (I haven't had much luck making paper beads. We were at a crafts fair not long ago and one of the exhibitors was rolling them in her booth while people were shopping. I think she can make one in way less than a minute -- it seems like it took me ages.)

Your paper beads turned out great and what a fun way to add extra DP. I especially like those dark patterned panels - they feel like and eclectic milky way to me.

Just sitting here taking in everything on this card. Keep finding more. Just noticed the beads on the gold twine. You will have lots of cookies with this card.
