Tri-Fold Pocket Card and WT Challenge Card

Oh my goodness is Blogger ever being a pain today! I guess that's what we get when it's free! LOL...have to put up with some issues :(
Yesterday Beate wrote a tutorial for SCS called Tri-fold pocket card. It's very well written and if you get a chance check it out in the Resource section on SCS.
I got to use my new Chic stand that Angie sent me too! It helped me when layering the flowers and adding the Rhinestone brads. Thanks again Angie!
Cardstock: Bashful Blue, Certainly Celery, So Saffron, Rose Red and Cutie Pie DP; Accessories: Rhinestones, 5 petal flower punch, Boho blossom punch, Slit punch, Bashful Blue Double Stitched Ribbon
Today on SCS is the Ways To Use It Challenge....it's all about snipping today! I decided I'd paper piece the bird from A Little Birdie Told Me set. It hasn't seen ink in a long time....lol
Stamps: A Little Birdie Told Me; Cardstock: Brilliant Blue, Pumpkin Pie, Wild Wasabi, WW and Jersey Shore DP; Inks: Black and Pumpkin; Accessories: Paper Snips, 1", 1 1/8" circle punches, Photo corner punch, Rectangle Nestabilites, White brad, Dimensionals

Since the card above was super quick, I wanted to get busy working on something to send to a special blogging friend. It's a LONG overdue RAK! I love making these little books...so fun! It's a fab way to use up scrap pieces of paper too ;)
Stamps: Embrace Life; Cardstock: Ruby Red, Watercolour Paper, Ginger Blossom DP; Ink: Black Stazon, Cameo Coral; Accessories: BIA, May Arts Ribbon, White Opal Liquid Pearls, Aqua Painter, Slit Punch
Thanks for stopping by today!

Don't feel bad about blogger having trouble...I'm in the same boat with you...only with the video companies (took me almost 24 hours & about 10 attempts to get my video loaded :O )
Have a great day Dawn!!
