Blogversary and Giveaway

Happy July 1!  Today is the first anniversary of this little old blog.  I can't believe it has been a year already!  For someone who isn't really good with the computer, I have learned quite a lot for me in this past year but know that I have a lot more skill that needs to be developed.  I wanted to create a card to show my appreciation to all of you who take the time to stop by and visit.  Here is what I came up with.


The base is Coredinations cardstock in Butternut Cream and distressed with Antique Linen ink.  The pretty paper is from Little Yellow Bicycle.  I then adhered a seam binding bow and cream colored lace to the card.  I coated a Tattered Angels frame in Mod Podge and Martha Stewart glitter.  The tag is stamped with a PTI sentiment in Victorian Velvet Distress Ink and I used a MS lace punch on the edge.  The flower is from Recollections with two Maya Road heart trinket pins.  A bit of twine and a couple of buttons finish it off.  I hope you like it!

Now, to celebrate my anniversary, I would like to give a little gift to someone.  All you need to do is leave a comment on this post and be a follower of this blog.  I will choose someone on July 14 which is the date that I actually figured out how to upload my projects.  Thanks so much for stopping by, and I hope you will continue to visit!
