Card no. 75 - Winter Buddies

Happy Saturday everyone! I have a sweet Easel card to show you today that I made with the super cute new Whiff of Joy stamps from the October release.

I made this card to donate to a local Mommies Network for their annual holiday auction. All the proceeds will be donated to local mommies.

This post will be short, sorry ... we're about to go to the Pumpkin Patch to take our family pictures :) so I need to hurry ...

Card no. 73 - Happy Birthday and fun "girly" project

Today I made my first attempt for an Easel Card - easier than I thought and what a fun to make it too!

My older daughter's little friend had a birthday party, so I thought what a perfect opportunity to make a card with one of the fabulous Whiff of Joy images since for the next two months I am the Guest Designer ... yeah, I am braggin' :)

Also, I found a fabulous tutorial how to make hairbows and I really wanted to give it a try. Here is what I came up with:

The Card

The Image Detail

I used the same Designer paper and cut out a little circle and attached to the page pebbles. The look is fantastic. I will most definitely be using those again (and again).

The fun Pebbles Detail

I decorated the package with the same "Medieval" theme. I didn't have the same cardstock paper, so I used similar color, different texture.

The Package

And here are ...

The Hairbows

They were really fun to make. And OH-SO-EASY!!! Next time I need to buy a little longer fancy ribbon - I think they could be a little "thicker" or add third color. I surely will be making more.
