Creating the Crafty Life.

I have wanted to play along with a challenges over at Creating the Crafty Life for a long time. Today was the day. This is Card Challenge #20  and here is the sketch.

Here is the card I created.

And because I had the set out I created two cards. This one is a birthday one.

Here is a video for you visual people like me.

Hi Everyone,
 I have been making lots of cards and trying to use what I have on hand. I am having so much fun revisiting all my supplies. I don't know about you but I find myself buying new and not using what I have. 
The stamps and dies I used on this card are from My Favorite Things and I have had them for a long time. I used the image stamp maybe once before but this is the first time I used the Jumbo Scallop die and Framed die set. I LOVE them and I don't know why it has taken me so long to get them out. I just keep getting new stuff and not using what I have. So I am being true to my goal to use what I have. Now if I sell some cards then I can shop. LOL
My Favorite Things has a sketch challenge this week and I really wanted to play along. Here is the sketch.

And here is my card.

I just love the this Pure Innocence image. I can't find it in the store right now. The sentiment and die cut are from a set called Die-namics Framed Greetings Die and Stamp Set. I paper pieced the umbrella and her booths.  The paper is from CTMH. The ribbon and card stock are from SU. I even used my bow easy.  
I would love to win their prize. It is a gift voucher for their store and I really want to try their felt.  I have my fingers crossed.
