Before I go on, I wanted to share with you that today is my first day of school. No I am not starting kindergarten!!!! After being out of work for a year, I am going to school for Medical Coding and Billing. So I see lots of studying in my future. I am soooo excited!!!
The image I used this week is from Cornish Heritage Farms called Bear Essentials. Being the bear lover I am, it was so easy for me to use these sweet and adorable bears. This is the perfect card for sending along bears hugs to someone special.
Card Recipe:
Martha Stewart Punches-Lattice, Large Deep Daisy Fan, Pop up flower, Deco fan around the page punch
Spellbinders- Sunflower Die Cut, Scalloped Square punch
Eyelets, ribbon, stickles, chalk, pearls
Here is this week's sketch.
Make it fancy, clean and simple, or somewhere in-between. Remember it is "YOUR CHOICE"
