The next stop for the Skipping Stones Design Blog hop is Kandi at
Krafty Kandi Krafts!
I also wanted to share a giftie that I made for a friend of mine...
All the images are by E.A.D Designs...I used the Fly away with me Stickerz and teamed it up with Cosmo Cricket's Togetherness...the hinged tins are so versatile!
Joyful Things...
Love that saying...tons of stitching on the cover panel...
This is an interior shot....on the left side of the tin I covered the inside of the lid with another panel of CC Togetherness....inside are 4 scrapling style cards...they just don't have a fold...
I love the whole hot air balloon trend...the Stickerz made them so easy to paper piece...
You knew that there had to be a banner somewhere:)
Although, it isn't pictured, I supplied 4 glassine pouches for the faux scraplings. The hb2u is Lawn Fawn's harold's ABC's...the beauty of the gift is she has 4 different cards and a 'treasure box'....
Great little giftie and something that I had a BALL making...
So what are your plans for today??!!!! I'll be crafting most of the weekend...woot woot!

Happy WCMD! :)
I just love that cards can be created start to finish in a matter of minutes. And you can make each card to suit the style of the recipient. You can make it as personal as you want. I hope you have a great weekend!!
I think what I enjoy most about craft blogging is finding inspiration in unexpected places and making friends in the process.
I like making cards because I think they make people happy when they recieve them! I like that!
I love cardmaking because it gives me a creative outlet. I also love the feeling of community and camaraderie in sharing a common interest, both online or getting together with friends to make cards and have a chat.
And then there's the giving and receiving of cards - also a joy.
Busy on the blog today - what a cute balloon project and a sweet gift for your friend.
That is what I love about cardmaking - each on is a little crafty handmade gift you can give to the people you care about.
Have a great weekend!
i still love all those colors and papers in that coffee card! yummo!
BTW, it irks me too when after you think you posted pics in the order you want it and you either end up forgetting one or accidently deleting one....definitely not worth re-doing the whole post. BUT, you know there is a way to "squeeze" in a pic or rearrange, right???? email me if you want to know =)

Happy World card making day! I am always inspired by your card and sketches used. I love the variety of papers and items. I love to make cards simply because it is so creative and you do not have to be an artist that draws or paints. I also love how sending a handmade card makes any day special. Thanks for a chance to win the blog candy!- Leesa Berry
