Thanks To You/ CR84FN 18

Oh, I am so happy to be back and have something to share.  Tonight is the new color challenge at CR84FN.  I didn't think I was going to care for this combo so much, until I got to looking through  my papers and realized what fabulous papers I had for this weeks colors.

6

 I used my beautiful new Prima bling and ribbon trim that I got from a wonderful online store I just found.  I got a bunch of new MME 6x6 paper packs, Scor Buddy, Websters Pages pack, and some cute stick pins.  I love to share when I find a great place to shop, becuase I always love when you share your fav places too.  Stamper's Dream is the online store I bought all these goodies at.  I have already found more new goodies I want to order from her.  This is a horrible addicting habbit to have.  Don't you agree?


 I used the sweet butterfly from Layers of Color.  I also have a hodge podge of papers I used as well.  PTI Dotty Biscotti, October Afternoon Thrift Shop, My Minds Eye Mabel.  Spellbinders Lacy Circles die, and some seamp binding from Memrie Mare Etsy.  And of course I used my sewing machine to stitch all around the card.  Something I have become horribly addicted to.  Especially now that I am better at it.  I used Copic colors YR02, YR07, Y21, Y23.

    NOT a horrible addiction, a wonderful source of happiness!!! ;) And no piece of paper is safe from my sewing machine now that I have it! I love this, I think that yellow paper is just beautiful, and the others you've combined with it are just perfect. You did such a beautiful job!
