Hi All,
I'm back again! Today, I want to share a card that I made for a co-worker's b-day (Happy Birthday Di!). I saw the card while surfing for ideas on Google Images. I hadn't played with my Cricut in awhile and I love that Forever Young cart, so I thought I would use it for this project. My inspiration came from Billie over at ScrapbookPal.com . This was a card Billie did back in August of 2012. I totally love her layout and thought it would be perfect for Di's card. I developed the inside myself. I loved the paperline (another great Hobby Lobby find). The gift card packaging was kind of large so, I couldn't go with the standard way of making a pocket. I used one of Kathy Orta's ideas for creating a pocket that would tolerate some bulkiness. I think the card turned out nice and it went really quick too! Not a lot fluff but still very nice. Well, here are a few pictures; I hope you enjoy them and feel inspired to break out any electronic cutting machine you haven't played with in awhile... I haven't entered any challenges in a bit; today I have a little extra time; so I'm on the challenge prowl. Okay, I changed my mind, I now remember why I stopped entering challenges...It's just too much work!! I'll have to take my chances that folks will find my work on the net and come see, just like I do. Have a great weekend everybody.
