Whatta Weekend!! (and ribbon flower tutorial link)

Finally....sunshine!!! Talk about a mood changer :) And just in the knick of time! I've been super busy with four different competitions at school right now. The snow days have really left us pinched for time which makes my days super hectic. I haven't been up for much stamping when I get home then, so I've vegged out & enjoyed the Olympics!

Early this morning, I created this cheery birthday card for one of my stamping buddies. We get together every month; and starting this month, we'll meet at her house (which by the way is gorgeous!!). I knew I wanted to incorportate the PTI Everyday Button Bits set & teal in the card b/c she likes them both.

Turned out cute, if I do say so myself! :) I think she liked it, too!


A few people asked me for the tutorial on the flower that I made for my one-sheet box. I used the tutorial found here....I think using a different width & type of wired ribbon made mine turn out a bit differently than the one shown. To make the flower on the card, I just cut a bunch of scallop circles from tissue, crinkled them, attached them with a button in the center, and scrunched them to my liking.


I hope you all enjoyed the sunshine too & that we all have a LOT more of it soon!! (unfortunately, there's lots of snow in the forecast for western Pennsylvania...yuck!)

Woo Hoo sunshine!! It was almost 70 here today and gorgeous. Of course... it is raining now and it is a cold rain! Anyway... it was nice to have a little break from the cold! Your card is great Stephanie! I can see why she loved it! I do too! Such great colors! And who doesn't love some PTI button bits?!?!

I love the Olympics too! I can watch them all day...and it is difficult to stamp while watching because you really do need to see them to appreciate it! I love this card for your friend! The colors are AMAZING!
