Did you all survive Black Friday?! If you think about it Thanksgiving is a pretty brutal time of the year! We stuff ourselves on Thursday and then shop for 24 or more hours! I hope that all of you that did brave the stores are taking today to recuperate! It was a nice day at the Stamp, Ink, Paper Store yesterday, I got to see lots of people and my friend Marianne brought me lunch and the hung out with me for the rest of the day. My friend Sandy also stopped by! After work I had dinner with my Parents and then Taylor came by my house to make a card. Then she said that she wanted to go to Target and see what Black Friday deals they had left! It was actually not too busy and I got a few Blu-rays and some coffee! Today is Small Business Saturday so my specials continue today! Hope it’s busy at the store again! 😀
I did manage to get in a bit of crafty time at the Store and made my card for this week’s Freshly Made Sketches Challenge…
My card base is Neenah Solar White 110lb Card Stock and for my background I used a piece of Echo Park Summer Party Blazing Floral 12×12 Paper. My panel is a piece of Ballerina Pink and I used the Concord & 9th Layers of Love Die to cut out that fun heart with the floral border. Before I adhered the panel to the card with Fun Foam and E-Z Runner I used the Hero Arts Designer Woodgrain Background Stamp and some Soft Pink Ink to give it a little more interest. I also cut a piece of Gold Mirror Card using the Layers of Love Die and adhered that piece in the upper right corner. The greeting is cut from more Gold Mirror Card and two piece of Solar White 110lb with the Concord & 9th Kind Card Frame Add-On Die. I cut off the ends and used Multi-Purpose Spray Adhesive to adhered them stacked. The greeting is then adhered to the card with Multi-Matte Medium along with a few Gold Pretty Pink Posh Sequins. I love the flowers peeking through the heart and of course that pink woodgrain is so cool! I hope that you enjoyed my card for this week’s Freshly Made Sketches challenge! Thank you for visiting today! Have a supreme Saturday! 🙂
