Good morning and Happy Sunday! I am super excited about today because I was asked to be a Guest Designer at Birthday Sundaes. How cool is that?!? And did you see Friday's post? I can't believe it! Still pinching myself! lol Any way, back to today's challenge. I was asked to create a birthday card using brads and to use at least three brads. I can remember a time where I put brads on everything but not so much any more.So here's my card. I used Stampin' Up and The Paper Company cardstock for the base and mat and DCWV pattern paper. The ribbon is from Michael's and the brads are from my stash, but I don't know the manufacturer. The leaves on the top mat are stamped with the new Martha Stewart's Stamp Around the Page stamp sets. Yes, I am an HSN shop-a-holic! lol I really like them too. The birthday sentiment stamp is from Stampin' Up as is the ink. Well, I hope you like my card. Please be sure to head over and see all the cute projects the design team has created. They are a talented group! Thanks for stopping by and enjoy your day!
