It has been ages since I played along over at Caardvarks. I was hoping something would hit me for their window challenge. The other night when I was putting away a Cosmo Cricket Cogsmo kit, I decided to take the ribbon out of its packaging and then "aha" it hit me. I thought it might be the perfect size for Fabriano's and bingo it was. I wanted to put together a set of thank you cards for a co-worker's upcoming birthday...watch now she'll start reading my blog :)I originally was going to use a hambly chandelier cardstock sticker but it wasn't big enough...wwwaaahhh...it was hot pink too...so I de-hoarded that adorable owlie...seriously I dehoarded. Lucky thing I'm close enough to my coworker to ask for the packaging back...LOL...unfortunately I'm telling the truth! I'll just tell her I'll put together a refill for her {wink wink}. In all honesty, she'll probably give me the packaging back knowing that I want the owlie back :)
I'm patting myself on the back for using my American Crafts scraps...isn't that orange houndstooth paper a-dorable?

The cards use my fav chandelier image by Impress...you can't tell but there are a couple black Kaiser Craft blings on it. The sentiment is from Stampin' Up.
Okay, that's it for today....ahhhh...it is going to be a short work week for me..we have Thursday & Friday off...woot woot!!!
