Wowzers! Where has the time gone! It's been forever since I've been able to update - that will all change next week though when school is done! Here is the Paper Dolls Challenge for the week. It was supposed to be a gift card holder, but I rarely give gift cards and I needed a baby card so I just used the layout instead.
I used Soft Stone for the base and Spring Moss for the mat layer. Then added a bunch of patterned papers - the polka dot one is from PTI Pretty Pastels the others are from a Glitter & Animal Crackers Mat Stack that I had laying around. The stamp is from Baby Button Bits and is stamped in Peeled Paint Distress Ink. I used misc buttons and some Rustic Cream Button Twine to attach the 'o' button.I have a few reasons for being so absent from my blog lately, the main one being that it's the end of the school year. Another one being the basement family room project.
This is what it looks like today. We have to trim and clean up tonight, because carpet goes in tomorrow morning! This corner will be my craft space so I am very excited to wrap this project up and start organizing and decorating the space!
We have also been enjoying so fabulous weather! Last week we went to the Twins game at the brand new Target Field Stadium. We lucked out and had a beautiful day to go and the Twins won in extra innings!
Thanks for stopping by! Hope you are having a great Memorial Day!
