Hello! I had a bit of time before we left town , to make a simple card for the hop.
Nothing fancy ... I used the colors and circles.
I bought some... Shakeit Shaker Card Pouches.
I found the perfect circle for the shakers any of the
Papertrey Ink - Scene It: Celebration Die work perfectly!
Then I just glued the top to the shaker pouch.
I can’t wait to see the amazing cards you all made. I blended my inks on each balloon so a mix of colors.
My husband and I took a few days off and went to Sequoia National Park,
it was gorgeous and we had the best time! Very cold but that is perfect for the hikes we went on.
We both enjoy the cold and we even got snow!
