Well Hi! Since we're starting off a fresh, new week, how about we start it with a giveaway! I was recently asked to contribute artwork to a new CardMaps issue...it's so beautiful! CardMaps Today 2 is just about ready to hit store shelves! With 45 brand new, never-before-seen card sketches by Becky Fleck of PageMaps, CardMaps Today 2 includes 80 beautifully-designed cards by 15 talented cardmakers all with instructions! New to CardMaps Today 2 are eight trend-setting techniques featured in photographed step-outs! This limited-edition, special issue is a must for all cardmakers!
You can order your own copy of this special issue and find out more HERE.
Today, I get to give away one copy of this lovely, lovely issue to one lucky reader. All you have to do is leave a comment on this post. You have until Wednesday, March 7th at midnight to comment. I will pick a winner randomly and announce them on my blog Thursday morning!
It wouldn't be right to leave without sharing a card, so tonight's card is just for you.
Love to dig into my felt stash and cut layers upon layers of flowers, hearts, and scalloped buttons. Mix in bits of trim and top with adhesive pearls or buttons, and you've got yourself a sweet, handmade embellishment.
Happy March and Monday! I've got Frank Sinatra playing while I'm making spaghetti and blogging, listening to my little one whistle, and waiting for my husband to come home for the night.
Night.
