CAS-ual Fridays Banners & Flags

This is a quick post because of so many reasons...

I have thought about this card for weeks. A neighbors son has come home from duty and I wanted to give him a card. I hope this will be nice enough. He is a great kid and I am thankful for his courage and commitment to our country.

CAS-ual Fridays has a great challenge for banners and flags. Stop by and see all there is to see at CAS-ual Fridays!

Thanks for stopping by! 

Make it Monday Challenge

Make It Monday #79: Fabric Die Cuts

Melissa Phillips knew what she was talking about when she made her video about using fabric and diecuts. So easy with the adhesive spray...trust me, I tried it without spray and it wasn't pretty. Adding texture to your card really makes the card, in my opinion. 

I used material from a pair of shorts that I made for my daughter when she was two. She is twenty-two now. I am blessed to have her in my life. I know she will love this card. She lives 800 miles away from us for her new job... this goes in the mail first thing in the morning!

Supplies:

Papertrey Counting My Blessings Die and Mini Stamp Set

Papertrey Ink Challenge - Autumn Textiles

{PHOTO CREDITS: scarf, flower, button holes, baby hat & shoes, need for tweed, suit}

So excited to get this card in just in time...

Working with textiles can be a challenge in itself! I loved the video about putting the cloth on card stock with adhesive spray and then using the dies. I can't wait to make a ton of cards using that method. Smelly but fun!

I am loving all my new Papertrey Ink goodies that my girlfriend ordered for me. We enjoyed talking about the newest release and what we wanted. It came just in time for me to make this card. Yay! She even surprised me with some Papertrey Ink!

I am so THANKFUL for this friend! :~)

My laptop is about to die so I will come back and list my supplies... Papertrey etc...
