A Card Given and a Card Received

Happy Monday! I hope that your week has gotten off to a nice start.

I recently made a card for a friend of mine who is celebrating a birthday this week. Since I had a lot of supplies already out, I decided to fashion it off the piece that I created for my "500 posts" write-up the other day. I really love these beachy gals and thought that she would too.

Once again, I used some BasicGrey papers

and some corrugated cardboard,

along with ribbon and punch-out letters...

This will be on the inside.

I don't glue these down until I stamp on them or

 I write on them.

In case I make a mistake,

it affords me the luxury of making another one.

You know how that goes!...

But my biggest excitement was when I received

this beautiful card from my dear blog friend,

Nancy Maxwell James at Sugar Lump Studios.

She is such an awesome artist,

with a blog to match,

and you can find her here.

Thank you Nancy. I love it!!

Have a lovely rest of the week!
