The giveaway is a $20 Gift Certificate to Stamp and Create!

For my project today, I had to make a card for a good friend and my scrap box just keeps getting bigger and I had a lot of choices for papers.  So I went through and grabbed some bright colors that went well together, and I found some of the new Close To My Heart papers amongst the bunch~ Kaliedoscope.  love this set, so pretty. and purple is my new favorite color.
Other items used in completing the card was, Cricut Desig space for the circle Happy Birthday, CTMH Cricut cartridge Artiste for the 3D pink daisy and its' center, the yellow flower border was from design space, bling from CTMH, cardstock and purple glitter trim from CTMH and the leaves and cardstock from CTMH as well, actully most of my CS scraps are CTMH.  The green trim Is Recollections from Michael's.
