hello!

I am officially on Spring Break - and it's a bit rainy outside - so that makes for a perfect day to get some crafting done!  I have a long list of cards and layouts I want to accomplish on my break, and here is the first one finished:

I wanted to use a new die I picked up from Archivers last week.  I haven't jumped on the hexagon bandwagon yet, so this is a first for me.  I diecut the shapes from a piece of cardstock for a negative effect.  I placed some gingham paper from A*Muse in the background and popped up the panel to add dimension.  The stamp is from My Favorite Things "Say What?" set. 

CAS-ual Fridays has a challenge this week to use color blocking.  You can get all the details and submit your card by clicking here. 

And Cath, over at Moxie Fab World is celebrating lots of trends this month with the release of Card Creations 11.  This one is for her challenge to use negative die-cuts.  You can see all the details if you click here!

Off to check some more things off my crafty list!  Be back soon!  Thanks for visiting My Happy Place!
