Life is what you make it....




365 Cards
Challenge:

With the help of my friend & co-worker, I've recently discovered the wonderful goods by Webster's Pages, specifically their
Journaling cards. They are mini pieces of art! I have a hard time covering them up or slicing into them but I thought it was only appropriate to make a birthday card out of one of them for my co-worker.

I did a smidge of piercing for the challenge and then opt'd for clean and crisp. I seriously was going through my embellie stash but didn't want to "clutter it up". It was perfect to nestle onto a ShortCuts frosted card base...

There are sooo many creative ways to use the piercing technique. I can't wait to see yours!

I love Websters pages. I was wondering why they're not as popular. I love them. Have to use my stash of WP.

I was thinking about featuring that on my Store Walk next week. I'm due for another video.

Pretty pretty pretty pretty!!!

A butterfly trail was the first thing that came to my mind for this challenge, but in the end I did a boring oval!
Great card.
