Hello and Happy Friday....wow was that a short week! The kids went back to school yesterday so it made this week fly by. I made today's card for a childhood friend. A friend whose birth date I swear I will never forgot. She helped me get through the rough early adolescent years. Her name was Lisa-but she later changed her name to Liz-she'll always be Lisa to me.
Anyways, I used a few magnolia images. The birds and cat are Tilda's friends. :o) I love these little images-they are so adorable-I usually use them all together.
The flowers and pots are brand new from Close To My Heart.
The sentiment is MFT
Images are colored in with copics and I also used a bit of stickles here and there
The paper is Basic Grey-Sugar Rush. My new favorite this season. Buttons and brads are also from the same collection.
The ribbon is from my stash.
I also want to share with you a brand new "gadget" I found at Michael's during the boxing week sale. It's called the Mini Bowdabra. I was getting tired of my signature ribbon "knots" and wanted to try something different-but I suck at free hand bows. Then I found this little "machine". I got it with my 50% off coupon-so it was well under $10. It makes the cutest little bows, and it's so easy to use! I just love it and can't wait to make more cute bows with it!Anyways, thanks for stopping by today.
See you in a couple days for the Dottie's Challenge-I'm hosting this week. I created my first ever sketch!
