TGIF, are you........

as happy as I am about that? Hello my friends, I hope you are all doing well on this Friday. Today I have a little something for y'all. Yesterday I had a look around SCS and the "ways to use it" challenge caught my eye. Julia asked to frame it, well, that can be done quite a few ways so for more info go here to find out WT214 and since I love when something kind of works itself out and I can kill two flies at the same time, I incorporated Sharon Johnson's challenge "Stamp Simply # 83" thread it through. To make these two challenges one I knew I had to use my Cricut Expression and my Accent Essentials cartridge for it. This cart has a tag/label on it that is similar to the Top Note and when you cut it out it cuts a positive and a negative. In this case I had my frame and a label all at ones ;P. To make that frame a little more interesting I ran it through my Cuttlebug with the Script embossing folder, to add a little something I also wanted a flourish on my card so the same cart cut a 1.5" flourish for me. I love it when things work out that easy, don't you? Well, to get the "thread it through" for Sharon's challenge in there I just had to thread ribbon in and out the frame and to add a little umph (I know this is not a real word, sorry) I threaded some glass beads on some very narrow satin ribbon and weaved it in and out as well. Have a look and see what I did





Wait for the LORD

Recipe:
Paper: PTI Vintage Cream, recycled moss colored cs from http://www.limelightcrafts.com/ , K&Company Blue Awning

So, how do you like this one? Does it qualify for both of the challenges? I am sorry, but I have to run, I'll have to get ready to get my 7 y.o. from school.

I hope you all will have a wonderful and sunny Spring weekend. Thanks you so very much for stopping by!!!!

Sabrina this is beautiful. I just love all the woven ribbon. It looks so awesome. I just got home from out of town and I had happy mail from you. Thank you so much. I must say that having a sample (or many samples) I now know that I wasn't making the flowers right. I love them. Your little card and purse are adorable. THANK YOU SO MUCH. I love it all. Hugs to you....
