Casual Fridays Challenge #53

Casual Fridays challenge this week is to use punches or dies on a card.

My tag is a die using my Cricut. Love that little thing, saves me in a pinch. And the punch is a Fiskars border punch. I know what you are thinking...thought you weren't going to enter any challenges while totally focused on Papercrafts Gallery Idol? What happened????

It is hard to stay away from an addiction.  I see all my favorite bloggers entering or designing for them and I want to have some fun too. And despite losing every week, I come back for more. Call me crazy!




Speaking of crazy,  the dimensions of this card is odd. I was at a paper store back in my hometown of Ohio and bought some interesting envelopes and decided to make a card that fit. I kind of like the change up!

This post is dedicated to Virginia Lu and Julie Hoffman. They are always positive and encouraging to me and when I wanted to give up or have a pity party, Thank you!

Bye,

Wida

  3. This is AWESOME Wida! Kraft is one of my go to colors lately and this is so sweet with that cool tag and bakers twine. You're so sweet to name me as being positive and encouraging. You can't win if you don't play and even if you don't win you make some pretty fabulous projects while you're trying!!!
