Have a Twinkly Day!

Hello there!

My son was invited to a birthday party in our new neighborhood.  So happy to see little ones make friends fast!   Any how, I have not had a chance to get out and about in our new area to shop for a card (which would have been easier given our situation).  Obviously, I have all the makings to make cards, but the problem is finding all my crafty things in a miscellaneous mess. The packers had their own method of packing and labeling, and we still have things in boxes because of the various projects we have going on.  So, I resorted to my scrap pile I had leftover when living at my Mom's house during our transition period. This I could find! I am not complaining because I need to use my scraps up, but I am not feeling very creative these days, so I used a couple of challenge as a jumping off point!

So, I took the challenge from Paper and Such Design Blog for the color inspiration. This was a challenge because these are not colors I go to often, but had all the making in my scrap bag. I also love to be challenged!

Next I took some creative liberty and used the sketch from The Ribbon Reel Challenge blog.  

Since this is for a four year old little girl who is every bit a little princess, I found some glitter paper in my stash, and thought it was fitting for her card.  However, I decided to try stamping on it, and as I suspected it doesn't take the ink well and fades right away...again, she is only four and I am pretty sure will care less! :-) Noted to use for backing paper only! :-) I had a doily remnant left over from a project way back, and inked it with some Antique Linen so it wasn't stark white. I added some ribbon and twine, and flowers all in my stash bag, and put my darling paper pieced Angel Princess in the center and my son has a card for the party!  Now on to do the birthday present shopping, oh and I will need gift wrap. I have looked...can't find my storage container with my wrapping paper. Moving is FUN! 

I will link this up with Jules' Crafty Snippet Challenge because all the items came from my stash! This is a great idea because I have a huge pile, and in a box somewhere is another huge pile before the move.

Well, that's it for me today! Not sure when I will be getting crafty again, but I love to check on to see what everyone else is creationing when I can! It keeps me inspired! 

Good Day!
