Midnight Madness!!

Have you seen this awesome blog/site called Priscilla Styles?? I just recently found it and it looks like a great place!! I decided to do this weeks sketch and play along! They have great prizes including CASH that you could win! How fun is that?!

I decided to use my new Webster's Pages papers for my card. They are such fun and cute papers, I can't get enough of them! When I was trimming the card base, I accidently trimmed the wrong side of the paper and trimmed off the folded edge side! So then I was stuck with 2 single pieces of cardstock! Oops! (That's why I usually wait until my son is sleeping before I make a card!! Distractions!! hehe) So I decided to "sew" the 2 pieces together using hemp cord! I actually like the way it turned out. I added some little pearls and brads to finish it off! I hope you like it!

Don't forget to visit Priscilla Styles and play along with some Midnight Madness!! You might just win some CASH!! woop! woop!

Have a great day! ♥

Hugs,
