Happy Weekend! I'm breathing a sigh of relief that another week of school is over and that it's a long weekend. My class is really full of a lot of little challenges this year. *sigh*
The challenge over at
Crafty Creations this week is to use three or more patterned papers. Well, if you know me that was not even a stretch! I am so totally addicted to patterned paper it isn't even funny. Anyway, I thought of this card that was my project at that shoebox swap I went to with Sarah & Heather. We did that right after the wedding and I was sitting on all this Old Olive DSP (Stampin' Up) that was left over from the various wedding projects, and figured I'd let those girls help me use it up. (Of course, we barely made a dent in it, so if anyone needs some Old Olive DSP scraps...I'm your contact!) Now I got the idea for this card from
Andrea Walford's blog and from there you can follow her link to yet another similar card. I did change the bow placement, but of course the basic idea for the card is right there! Btw, Andrea does some amazing card making...hers was one of the first blogs I discovered and she continually amazes me with her creativity!
Newsprint is in order for the One Stop Craft Challenge, and you can see the text in the petals of the flower image I used. Crafty Creations is looking for expressions of gratitude, my "thank you" sentiment is from TAC. My layout inspiration for this card came from Cupcake Craft Challenges, and yes...that's Stampin' Up Old Olive CS & DSP (still plenty leftover from the wedding)! I especially wanted to use the dotted Old Olive for the Papertake Weekly Spots 'n' Stripes challenge.
