A special thanks to teammate Marie for all her patience in teaching me how to tie the bow with a fork.  Its takes some practice, but is simple once you get the hang of it.

Here is a couple of other cards we created using the Upsy Daisy Stamp set, Poppy Parade, Blushing Bride, Whisper White colors, Hostess Level 1 In-Color Designer Series paper, brads, and Blushing Bride ribbon.

I have a new club forming, we meet once a month, learn new techniques, create a project or two with the new techniques.  Grab a friend or two and join the club.  Each month a club member gets to be the hostess and receives hostess benefits.  It so much fun to get together with your friends, make great projects and share great fellowship.

Happy Monday to you all!!

Inky Hugs,
