A Card With a Wish!

I've been so bad with the whole card-making thing lately. I did VSN amidst craft room/office madness. Seriously, it was a disaster zone (HazMat suits were a requirement to get in there it was so bad)!! But, I knew there were a few cards that really needed to get made. I just couldn't get them done until the room was back in order. Eddy's eldest sister's birthday card was one that got delayed. (I felt horrible, too.)

So, now that order has been restored to the room and I can craft & create in a reasonable state of calm again I knew I needed to make that birthday card. Since she's being forced to wait for it I figured I try to make her something really special. I received some really beautiful paper (FOR FREE!!!!) from Eclectic Paperie in my last order from them so I decided to use that along with some Tim Holtz goodness and a little Core'dinations in the Jenni Bowlin line (it's so yummy!). Anyway (enough babbling)...here's what I made for her:



I love using all those little metal findings from Tim Holtz. They're so fun and add such a cool touch. The inside is really neat, too, but my camera's battery died. Boo hoo! Sorry.

Thanks for stopping by to have a look at what I've created today. Hope you like it!

Love this! You nailed it with the colors! Great flower too. I like how you used the polka dot paper as the flower center too.
