SC Ribbon Challenge- Whimsy Wee Snippet

1:19 PM | Posted by Chris Olsen, Glowbug | | Edit Post

Happy July 4th to all in the USA!! I hope all around the world have enjoyed the weekend!! Today will be a great family day and I am really looking forward to it. My dear daughter's birthday is on Wednesday but since my hubby has to work then and he is home today, we thought we could celebrate today as well (usually we camp on her birthday and she is spoiled rotten so we have to do something compareable, right?). We have an extended family picnic this afternoon. And...the SUN is SHINING!! Woo hoo!!

Anywho...today it is time for another monthly challenge at Stamp and Create!! This month's challenge is
RIBBONS and BOWS!! Easy peasy right!!

I used Whimsy Wee Snippets and Mystic illustrated by Crissy Armstrong. Ialso used the Whimsy Magical Mini Letter Seals designed by Ann Vento of Raindrop Echo designs. I used the bow easy, pink crochet lace ribbon, and fuscia fairytale roses.

The designer paper is from Prima Analee.
