Happy Friday Everyone!! Wow!! Does time fly. I had hoped on putting up this post much earlier but one thing lead to the next and it just didn't get done. I am kind of feeling the expression "Stop the train, I want to get off" Life is crazy busy for me right now.
Anywho enough of my woes...let's get on to my creation. I decided that I would make a birthday card in honor of Your Next Stamps one year anniversary. What better timing than on the day that it is announced that I will be on the Your Next Stamp design team. I am so honored to be joining the talented team and working with Karen and the gorgeous line of stamps. Thanks for the invitation and opportunity Karen!!
I got up early this morning thinking I would make an easy peasy or clean and simple card but it turned out to be more elaborate and time consuming than I had planned. I decided to meet the challenge at the Pixie Cottage Challenge using their sketch and create a card with a different fold as well as the Your Next Stamp challenge to make a birthday card. Well....criss cross cards are time consuming since there are so many sides. And...of course I had to sew all those sides. LOL!
The image is Flying High Fiona. I paper pieced her dress and added a button for a balloon. I made clouds with my mega scalloped oval dies and embossed them with divine swirls. The American crafts designer paper is quite old...I have only one of each piece and I have been hoarding it!!! Since Paper Romance is having a pink and bling challenge this week and Paper take Weekly is having a something old, something new something borrowed or something blue challenge and Paper Romance is having a Pink and Bling challenge, I thought it was time to take it out of the closet.
Here is a list of a few more challenges, that I am linking up for this creation:
Your Next Stamp challenge to make a birthday card
Sew Many Challenge -stitching
C.R.A.F.T.- insects -butterflies
Paper Romance is having a Pink and Bling challenge
Paper take Weekly is having a something old, something new something borrowed or something blue challenge
Pixie Cottage Challenge using their sketch and create a card with a different fold
Creative Card Crew: Cute and Girly
Lil Red Wagon: Circles (bling, button, and polkadots)
Challenge up your life - Celebrations
Penny's Paper Crafty - Anything Goes
Frosted Designs -Recipe-use 5 0f 10 I used ribbon, pink, punches, butterflies, buttons and glitter
Crafty Cardmakers: Punches
Flutter By Wednesday- fairy butterfly or angel
Crafty Creations- Winged Things
Ooh la la- spots and dots
Incy Wincy- a bug's life
Pixi Dust Studio Challenge- pretty in pink
I hope you enjoyed my creation!! Thanks for stopping by and for your sweet comments. They are greatly appreciated.

I'm afraid for our challenge the 'mini-beast' is to be the focal point of the card, so yours doesn't quite fit the theme, but please come again next week!
