YAY! It's time for World Card Making Day!
Last year, I was honored to be chosen as one of the winners of the Paper Crafts World Card Making Day Contest! Not only did I receive a fabulous prize, but I made some amazing friends along the way!
You should be coming from Miss Alyssa Strichfield's blog- if not, I have listed the full hop order at the bottom of this post!
Here is my card that was chosen as a winner in the "Thinking of You/Hello" category last year!
I happened to have another sheet of that patterned paper (from the Authentique 6x6 bundle: Blissful) so I thought I'd use it on this card! A little bit of a connection to my card from last year!
You guys know I'm a neutral kid of gal.... lol! And this card is all me! Layers of neutral patterned paper, a simple sentiment, some trendy hexagons thrown in there- so my style! Haha!
The sentiment is from my set GROWTH from Market Street Stamps- I am truly IN LOVE with that font!
From here, you're going to hop over to my good friend Laurie Willison's blog! I'm sure she's got something fabulous to share with you over there!
Here is the complete hop list if you got lost somewhere along the way!
When you're finished the hop- head on back over to the Paper Crafts Connection blog- I hear there are some great prizes up for grabs over there!
While you're crafting this weekend- hop on over to the Market Street Stamps blog to party with us! We're having a Block Party and you could win a fun prize package OR a guest design spot just by linking up a card using Market Street Stamps! Easy peasy! :)
Thanks for stopping by!
Great cards!

Beautiful cards. Wonderfully done.
ReplyDeleteWhen you get a winning combination it's good to keep working with it. Glad to see the bird cage stamp used. I have one but never know how to use it so it makes sense. Good job.
ReplyDeleteLove that you were able to use the same paper, and I'm loving those hexagons on this year's card!
ReplyDeleteLove the stamp that you used on the card.

ReplyDeleteLove the neutrals, you are fabulous with them, and that font is wonderful!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat cards! I like neutrals too!
ReplyDeleteOHHH! I love that you found inspiration from your winning card (I did the same thing! LOL!). FAB card--love the hexagons and neutral colors! FUN!
ReplyDeleteOh boy, I love how elegant your card is, and I love your style!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous!!!!
ReplyDeleteLove the use of neutrals - beautifully done. The bird adds the perfect touch!
ReplyDeleteWhat an originial card! I love the link to your previous winning card. Great inspiration. Stacy H-W
ReplyDeleteLove the sweet little birdie out side the frame...adds so much depth to the whole project. Nice work!
ReplyDeleteBoth cards are fabulous. I love the neutral colors too.
ReplyDeleteLove both your cards.
ReplyDeleteI love that paper, too! It makes a gorgeous card and it was neat that you could connect to last year's card!
ReplyDeleteLove both your "takes" on using that particular piece of patterned paper. Great idea! Thanks for sharing. :D
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your cards with us. Very nice. Inspirational.
ReplyDeleteGreat card--I like how you used the same paper and the addition of the hexagons.
ReplyDeleteNeutral works for this card and the little hexagons really give it dimension!
ReplyDeleteWonderful cards! I love that they "work" for masculine cards!
ReplyDeleteI can see why you used the same paper as last year. It's one of my favorites, too, but I haven't been able to use all of it because I feel like I should frame it or something. You did it great justice with another wonderful card. I like the neutral colors -- perfect for a man or woman. The hexagons are a bonus. I love it all.
ReplyDeleteLove both of your cards.
