I Like This Card :)

NOTE: I have a blog candy!

No, not that one above. The above was what M made… all by herself!! She did this at the after school program yesterday. It’s a picture frame for a picture that her little penpal, Sofi, made. Who doesn’t know Sofi? If you don’t you’re missing out! She’s Cathy Pascual‘s little girl. Cathy’s an awesome awesome paper and digital crafter – Sofi use to be her main scrapbooking subject but now she has a newbie to exploit {::LAUGH}. She’s been published many times and have designed for many folks. She’s currently a fashionista as SIStv, where I met her. M and Sofi has been snail mailing and M thinks Sofi’s the cutest thing! I think if Cathy and I lived closer we’d make great real life friends and the girls will have a blast together. M with Sofi and Jovie with Zara. We’d be totally weird at the park tho… ppl might think we’re paparazzi ha ha ha… we’d have our cameras aiming at the kids at all times {::SMILES}.

Okie, my card that I like…

I used Dawn’s colors for this week and really like the color combo on this card. You all know Ashley Newell? Well she started a new online publication, Embellish Magazine, and even though this card does not meet her challenge criteria the twine was inspired by her. Besides the colors I like the fact that I used this stamp set again. I’ve had this SU set for awhile and have only used it once until this week. The top, the cream ribbons, those are just little strips of ribbon that were adhered on with glue first and then sewed. I think it gives the card a little bit more dimension.

Alright, that’s it from me. More later! Tomorrow hopefully since it is a long weekend and we’re not doing anything but clean and lounge around at home. Have a great one you all and oh, don’t forget the blog candy!

I can't believe M did that! She's gonna be blogging and crafting soon! Love your card too! The looped ribbon at the top is so nice! The twine adds a great natural touch and the photo just makes everything on the card 'right!'

What a sweet lil' crafter you have! I love both cards, as well! I love that you trotted out that beautiful horsey set from S/U! {I think we deserve EXTRA CREDIT for giving retired sets some love and "air time!"} You did a fabulous job with these gorgeous colors! Love your work!
