The challenge this week for
The Cuttlebug Spot is to use charms on your project. I have been wanting to make a white on white card for a long time. I almost got there this time, but I couldn't resist adding a lilac mat. It is still mostly white and I am very happy with how it turned out. I just wish I could have taken a photo of it to show how pretty it really is.
Last week
Beate posted on her blog how to make a frame with nestaibilities and I knew I had to try it. It is pretty easy and I will definitely being making more of them. I can't seem to get a link to the exact post on Beate's blog with the video, but you can find it at the bottom of her 3/5/11 post. It has been a very long day so I am keeping this a super short post. I have the card details at the bottom of this post. Make sure to check out the rest of the design teams gorgeous creations on
