One of the best things about being a demonstrator is getting access to special demonstrator-only materials. Each month we get an amazing magazine in the mail, Stampin' Success, which is filled with ideas for workshops and classes. We also get a special invitation to join a demonstrator website, Stampin' Connection. On this site, you can chat with other demonstrators and view thousands of samples posted by demonstrators. I have gotten so many ideas from demonstrators, and found a caterpillar idea from the wonderfully talented Lynn Pratt that worked perfectly with the sketch over at Freshly Made Sketches this week.
I don't know about you, but I have thousands of minuscule scraps of designer paper lying around my craft room. I have a problem with getting rid of them because I might need them sometime! Well, this was the perfect project to use some of them up!
Once I got the idea in my head, this card came together SOOOO quickly! If you have kids who like to scrap along with you, like my daughter that is 8, this would be a great sample for them to recreate!

Cardstock: Basic Black, Daffodil Delight, Whisper White
