Hello to all my crafting buddies and followers! It rained for a few days here in Southern CA and now it is sunny again. My mom and I went out Thursday for a few hours to the craft stores to see if they had anything new or exciting; but no such luck. LOL. We had lunch out and then came home to watch a movie. Saturday, we took my mom to China Town and Little Tokyo; then ate dinner in Monterey Park. It was a fun day.
I am so excited to share with you my card for Challenge #47-"Buttons" at Tammy's Scrapin Corner. Our sponsors this week are Bugaboo Stamps and Sk Digi's. They both have some awesome digi stamps which I am sure you will love. Digi images add something to a card. You can still use your stamps and create so much more when you combine them.
I chose a Bugaboo Digi - "Friends Were Flowers" which comes with the cute sentiment seen on the front of my card. I created my first twisted easel card; which was so much fun. I love making this type of card. The card is easy to make and so cute. I also used another new paper packet that comes out February 1st with Close To My Heart. It is called "Chantilly" and has some gorgeous colors in it. You can find the tutorial for the Twisted Easel Card here at Card Making Magic. I don't know where the quote came from for the lower half of the card. I searched on the Internet and it came up as Unknown. If anyone knows where it came from; please let me know.
