Ok....so my new favorite thing ever is this Bow die cut from Lil'inker Designs. I just love how fun and easy it is. It adds such style to a card and you really could use it in so many ways. The possibilities are endless. I purchased it the day it came out. I just had to have it. I so love then it is new release time of stamps...paper...die cuts..embellishments... I am so there and so addicted. Hi my name is Annette and I am a craftaholic.
So what are everyones plans for the Memorial weekend? My husband and I are just hanging out...as you all know my sister-in-law moved back to Maui. I am sure if they still lived here we would be having a barbecue or something fun for sure....Maybe the kids would stay the night and we would be able to spoil them rotten and then send them home... I so miss them.
Today I am sharing a card that I made for Moxie Fab World....Gingham Challenge. It has been a while since I have joined one of the fun challenges at Moxie Fab World. I really have had a full plate but loving every moment of it. I am going to CHA Chicago in July with Some Odd Girl and seriously can't wait. I look forward to see some of my Blog Friends there....and I will be surrounded by crafting supplies...hey what is better then that.
Recipe: Lil'inker Designs die cut, Clever Handmade & Unity Frames in the house, October Afternoon Sasparilla collection, Neenah white card-stock, Versafine Onyx black ink pad and Scotch advanced tape glider.
Tomorrow I am guest designing at Market Street Stamps.
I hope you will join me tomorrow.
Thanks for stopping by on this fine Thursday.
Have a wonderful and crafty day.
This is such a fun CAS card Annette! I love the papers you have used and the bow tie is very cool! I'm so jealous that you are going to CHA! You are going to have such a great time! I wish I could go too!

That bow is too cute! Super cute card!
ReplyDeleteGREAT mix of patterns, Annette! Love the use of gingham!
ReplyDeleteI would so wear a gingham bow tie. Love this :)
ReplyDeleteHolidays are the hardest, I know. Maybe there's a town/city celebration with fireworks or something that you could go to - something different - so that you could still celebrate? When we moved away from my family I found setting new traditions helped a bit with how much I missed them around holidays. Hugs - I know it's hard.
OMG, this is great! I love the papers! This is a super CAS! When I try to do CAS, I always end up adding more, and more, and more...
ReplyDeleteLove that bow too! Never seen it before.... How nice to know that your SIL moved to Maui at least maybe you and hubby can plan a Hawaii trip there and go spend some moolah at the Ben Franklin Craft Store. I bet she is loving it there with all the sunshine & beaches.....
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your day!
I envy your CHA adventures! So So fun!
ReplyDeleteI am sure we will bbq with the neighbors and go to Arlington National Cemetery to pay our respects.
I love your card! So so cute! Love the papers!
