Hello Everyone!
Welcome to Whimsy Haven's Wednesday Blog Hop! You should be arriving from Amy C.'s blog. If not, head back to the Whimsy Haven blog to begin again! Make sure to leave comments along the way, you never knew what you might win! :)
I apologize for my silence these past couple of days. It's been a hectic weekend with me working 3 nights in a row over the weekend (actually, I got called off on Saturday - yay!) and then we spent Memorial Day Monday at a BBQ and yesterday was DH's birthday!
I had to make sure I got some cards done, though, and this is the one I did for Whimsy Haven Wednesday!
I think this card reflects my typical style, don't you? It's super bright and fun - and I think that's what best describes the cards and layouts I make (with the occasional out-of-the-box one thrown in for good measure, of course! *lol*)
For this card, I used Whimsy Haven's Birthday Star set, printed it twice and popped the bow out with dimensionals. I actually didn't use any ribbon - what a surprise! But I thought that the ribbon on the box is perfect enough. The patterned paper is old scraps of Imaginisce (are they still around?) and I used one of my Quickutz embossing folders for the blue cardstock.
Hmmm.. That effect looks like a Lego block doesn't it? I'm going to have to do this again if I make a layout about LEGOS! *lol*
Anyway, thank you all for visiting me today! Your next stop on the hop is the fabulous STEPHANIE! :) And it's a new month, so help us welcome Stephanie Zito as guest designer! She's awesome! :)
Have a wonderful Wednesday!
What a fun and colorful card. I just love all the texture and style. Thanks for this eye candy along this hop.

It is WONDERFUL!! The dimension and colors are so vibrant and fun. Great job! Don't apologize for being quiet, it was a holiday weekend. You should be out enjoying life anyway. I DO love to see your creations though.
