Learning Something New and a Challenge!

Happy Saturday! I hope everyone has had a great weekend. My weekend definitely didn't go the way it was supposed to so I'm sneaking in a little stamp time! I was at Ashley's blog (Heart Hugs Designs) and she had this GREAT looking tailored bow that I really wanted to try and make. She linked to the directions (thanks Ashley!), so I tried it out. It's fun! Here's the directions. I kind of messed mine up because I decided AFTER the fact to add some tails, but it's really easy and I LOVE this bow! I can't enter the challenge because you have to use Gina K. stamps and I don't have any (yet!). But it was fun to learn the new technique anyway! However, I am using this card for the Stamp Something challenge -- which was to make something SUMMERY!! I don't know about you, but I am so ready for winter to be over...of course, it IS 60 degrees here today (weird!!), but it's going to get cold again... Well, enough chit-chat from me, here's the card!
