Celebrate!!!

Hello! First of all - thanks for the anniversary wishes! We had a wonderful weekend together - went to a little bed and breakfast in the mountains, and just relaxed and enjoyed time together! I even went snow-shoeing for the first time! And while I did feel pretty awkward, it was lots of fun!

So - now that I am back and getting into the swing of things again, I took a few moments to pull out my crafty stuff and play while my girls do their homeschooling! Here is what I came up with (because I'm still in a celebratory mood I guess!):

I used a My Mind's Eye 6x6 paper pad - LOVE all the bright colors! The banner is from the Unity March KOTM - as well as both the sentiments.  

I paper-pieced the banner, then stamped the smaller sentiment, and trimmed it into two pieces to stick on the banner. I put some Glossy Accents on the sentiment and the star for a little shine. 

The bottom main sentiment also got a good coating of Glossy Accents.  

Used some crinkle ribbon around the top for a bow, then tied some twine and a button on.

I used kraft paper for the card base, and did some faux stitching around the pattern paper.  

And...I almost forgot - I also inked the edges of the sentiment pieces, and main cardstock piece with Tim Holtz distress ink in Vintage Photo. 

I'm so glad you stopped by today! Have a wonderful day!
