This weekend was my husband's birthday. Since he had not been feeling well all week I did not have a chance to get him his birthday present, so I went to get it on the way home from work on Friday. On the way to Best Buy to get his new Zune HD [which He ended up being a) surprised and b) really happy (He liked it a lot :) ].
Anyway, I stopped by Wal-mart to get a card and a few other things and made a very quick run through the scrap-booking section. They had lots on sale and I was very tempted, but I only bought one paper set! I loved the colors and couldn't wait to make something. :) So on Saturday while we were having a "chill" day, I made a couple of cards (early start on Father's Day) and a just because card. I also tried making a bookmark. I'm not thrilled with the bookmark, but it was my first try and I can't wait to try another one.
These are gorgeous! I absolutely love that little embellishment you made for the first card with the ribbon and the brad/button. How did you make it? It's lovely -- just the right touch of subtle elegance.
ReplyDeleteI have that same paper pack, but I've yet to make anything from it. I'll have to break it out one of these days soon.
Honestly, I kind of stumbled on the inspiration for the ribbon. I started out working on a bow, but then ended up just looping the ribbon in a circular pattern, gluing down each section as I went so that it didn't all fall apart on me. (That is a horrible explanation - I'll try to come up with some pictures ;) )
