Happy Birthday

Hello!

How was your weekend? I hope it left you feeling well rested and ready to take on a new week! I managed to make the time for cooking, crafting, reading and hanging out with my boys.

A couple weeks ago I challenged myself to create a card using only papers from my scrap bin. At one time that wouldn't have been much of a challenge because I had a ton of scraps! Currently, since I donated all my scraps, I have very little! I have no more than six pieces of patterned paper and half of those are Christmas themed! With one piece of patterned paper, a piece of cream card stock for the base and another color coordinated piece of card stock, I made the following card.

This patterned paper is so cute, I thought I should be able to come up with something fun!

I also had some rubber accents left over from another project that match this paper.

I always enjoy incorporating some stitching accents.

The final touches include this manila tag with negative die cut letters and a sentiment from Pebbles. The twine is from Doodlebug and the mini paper clip is Tim Holtz. I can't remember who made this adorable patterned paper. It coordinates with the Simple Stories 100 Days of Summer collection.

I hope you like my crafty share for the day. And I hope you have a terrific Monday!

I'll be back tomorrow with some more paper goodness! Thanks for stopping by!

Kathy :)
