Hi there! I would love to be part of the giveaway too! I love prizes! :0) Your card is just gorgeous! I like this one the best of the ones you've done on the hop. I've never done a "matchbox" card, but will certainly give it a try! Just another nice twist to make a card a little more unique. Very pretty! It's been fun being on the hop with you. :0)

A very BIG congratulations to Amy!!!  Amy, I will send you an email shortly so that I can find out where to send the package.  Thank you all for participating and subscribing.  Hubs and I were talking about doing a weekly giveaway every Monday.  What do you think?  I personally love this idea. 

Well, it's about that time.  Thank you all for spending some time with me!  I honestly and truly appreciate it!  Until next time.  :)

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY

Jillian's Birthday Blog Hop Day 4 & Giveaway!

Happy Monday to you! 

I pray you are all enjoying your day.  Today is day 4 of Jillian's Birthday Blog Hop.  It's sad how fast birthday celebrations come and go.  Deanne at http://deannescreativejuice.blogspot.com/ is hosting a blog party to celebrate Jillian at http://princessandthepaper.blogspot.com/ and it is the last day.  It has been such a pleasure to participate in this event.  I have had so much fun.  So for my final project I made a matchbook style card.  I was debating what project I should make and finally rested on this card.  The choices were a Tri-Shutter card or an S-card, but Annie @ http://anniebeescraftroom.blogspot.com/ did such a fantastic job that I think I want to admire hers for a bit longer before I try my hand at one.  Then I thought about making a birthday gift, quick and simple note cards, like the one I saw on Sandy's blog at http://www.papertransformer.com/.  But since I am technically on vacation visiting family and have limited supplies, a card was definitely in order. So here it is, my Matchbook Style Birthday Card:

The card measures 5 1/2x4 1/4 and folds at the top (portrait style). The top of the card slips right under the pink band at the bottom.  I used the "Handsome" paper collection by Autumn Leaves.  I think this collection is just perfect for birthdays.  The solid pink comes from Best Occasions via Walmart, the card base is from Staples, the ribbon from Offray and the Vellum sticker, part of the Birthday Bash collection, is designed by Cathy B exclusively for Stickopotomus/EK Success.  I added some DecoArt Twinkles around the card for some pizazz.  :) 

I love the white ribbon and the feel it gives to the card.  I added some more Twinkles to the end of the paper ribbon strip.

I used the "Make A Big Wish" stamp from Studio G for the sentiment.

And there you have it, my Matchbook Style Birthday Card.  I really like this card and I am sure that I will make another one with a more masculine feel.
