Paper Dolls Challenge #35

It's my turn to host the challenge over at the Paper Dolls Blog this week, so please go over and check it out. You won't need any special materials...what you have in your stash of scraps is all you need! Although there are many sketches that would have enabled me to use use more scraps on a single card, the following card is what 'came to me' as I was messing around. It will probably be the card I give my daughter for her 8th birthday coming up in June. Too bad the blinged border didn't shine in the photo like it does in real life. She'll love it!


The cut edge is on the front panel of the card, whereas the stamped Sweet Blush cardstock is on the back of the card. It was a BEAR to get a picture of this card so it would stick shut long enough using repositionable adhesive. ;) Although I always look through my scraps before cutting in to a new piece of card stock, it was fun to limit myself for a change. I love how the coordinating PTI products make it so easy!

Thanks for stopping by! Have you stamped something from your heart today?

Oh, this is my kind of CARD! It's so soft and sweet, but CAS. I'm sure the bling shines right out! And when it comes from scraps, all the better. Your dd will LOVE it.
