Just another Girlie Thank You Card

I can't wait to start creating a new scrapbook layout starting tomorrow featuring Brand New Papers from the NEW Idea Book that will become available beginning February 1st. So you'll just have to wait until next week to see my scrapbooking layouts.

This week, I'm participating in a couple of challenges from

The girlie part is all the ribbon, lace, and of course bling. I'm a scrapbooking girl so you know I had to incorporate my most girlie pursuit- Paper Crafts of course! Check out how beautiful the layers look.

 

What can I say I also love texture and adding dimension to my projects. Here layering lace, ribbon, embossed card stock, and of course 3D foam tape brings this project to life. Who doesn't love bling? I just had to incorporate it to keep up with the theme. I tried for a while to track down this retired stamp called Ms. Scrapbooking. I think we have some resemblance like we both have short black hair, and I often create while wearing an apron.
