Thanks for stopping by my blog today and participating in World Card Making Day! I hope you have a lot of time to yourself today to enjoy card making! With the holidays just around the corner, card making is definitely one of my favorite hobbies and I'm ready to kick into overdrive to get my Christmas cards done. I'll get my chance to get started, but after soccer games are over this morning. I'll be posting more cards throughout the day so be sure to check back!
In the meantime, I wanted to share a card that I created with the gorgeous Fancy Pants Designs Happy Together Collection. I've used several pieces from the collection including the Happy Together Tags and Titles, Rub-on's, Printed Transparency, and several patterned papers.
Now for the really fun part! I figured what is a celebration without a giveaway! I'm teaming up with a super talented blogger and friend, Ellie, who has a passion for jewelry making and an incredible Etsy shop! Her gorgeous handmade creations can be found at Shining Stones on Etsy. Her jewelry is unique, beautiful and affordable. Ellie is also the incredible author of One Crafty Mother, a blog filled with her story of soul bearing-revelations, wisdom, and good humor. Be sure to check both of these sites out!
