Some Exciting News - C4C

Good Morning! I am so happy to be back from vacation. My family and I had a great time in Disney World. Lots of beautiful sunny (and very HOT) days! This year we stayed at the Wilderness Lodge resort which was very nice! Great atmosphere and restaurant. We loved watching the boat parade outside our room every night and we were lucky to see fireworks at the Magic Kingdom almost every night too (sometimes from our hotel room). They do an amazing fireworks show! **Reminder to myself for next time - bring sneakers, my feet were killing me from wearing the wrong shoes ;). Well, I am glad to get back to my regular routine although I miss the "magic" of being in Disney. Now, I have alot to catch up on!

I have some exciting news to share this morning, I have been asked to join the Crazy 4 Challenges DT. I'm thrilled to be able to work with this fun and talented group of ladies! So, for our challenge this week we were asked to use lots of ribbon on our card (at least 2). So here is what I came up with:



I made a stair step card using all these Magnolia images that I picked up at Magnolia-licious. What do you you think?









Recipe:

Stamps by Magnolia and Alota Rubberstamps, copic markers, papers by Basic Grey, ribbon and daisy buttons from Michaels, Cricut to cut out letters, and MS border punch.




Our sponsor this week is My Favorite Things. Please visit their site here to see their fabulous clear stamps. If you would like to play along with us, all you have to do is create a card/project and upload it to your blog and/or to your SCS Gallery using the keyword C4C44. Don't forget to link it at the challenge blog to Mr. Linky so that everyone else can see it too. I hope you will play along with us at Crazy 4 Challenges. Looking forward to seeing your creations! hugs,
