So it seems I have been blogging here for one year, time flies that's for sure. I have enjoyed sharing my creativity and parts of my life with everyone out there. I look forward to continuing to share with all of you. I am planning to give away a little blog candy this week as soon as I get it together so check back in the next few days!
So with this celebration of blogging, I thought I would share a thank you card...thank you to all of you for reading and following my life this last year. I have enjoyed getting to "know" some of you, it is nice to hear from you through comments and to visit your sites too! So on to the card, I made this using some leftover flowers I had made for another project recently. I used my favorite color combo - Ocean Tides and Pure Poppy with some Vintage Cream thrown in. I stamped the lovely branch from Beautiful Blooms in Vintage Cream and Ocean Tides on Ocean Tides cardstock. I really like the layered look I was able to achieve. I then it on a Vintage Cream card base and added the flowers - also from Beautiful Blooms and cut out with the Cuttlebug - randomly on the front. I stamped the sentiment on a Ribbon Tag cut from my Spellbinders die. I cut off the end to mount it on the edge of my card, used Vintage Cream twill to tie it and added the pearl as a finishing touch to dot the "i" in Gratitude.
Here is a close up of the sentiment. Also notable, is that I sponged the edges of the flowers and sentiment tag with Spring Moss ink.
Okay, so I hope you have a great weekend! Back to real life for us on Monday, Jakey goes back to school, my hubby goes back to work, etc. It will be good to get back into a routine but I will miss all the time we have spent together. Thanks for stopping by today!
I love the way you cut the end of the tag. I'm going to try that, as soon as I find those dies. They seem to have grown legs and walked away from my craft space. LOL! Congrats on the Blogaversary! -Molly B

Congratulations on one year. I love this card. I haven't used the ocean tide cardstock yet, I just keeping looking at it not sure if I like it. Well, I have changed my mind. This card is beautiful. Time to get out the paper and give it a go. Thanks for sharing.
