Most Fabulous Friend

Hey there, everyone!!  How has your week been so far?  Good here...just keeping busy as usual!!  Although today I took most of the day and just did some things that I wanted to do, which was really nice.  Like sleep in- that was fantastic!! :)

Today I have a sweet little pink & aqua card to share with you, using Pink Paislee papers & tag, and a bunch of bits and baubles here and there.  A lot of this product, and many others are now part of the Daily Deals section at StopAndScrap.com.  Lots of great deals in there, so you will definitely want to check it out!

This is my favorite kind-of card to make...where I just pull out a bunch of stuff that matches the papers I want and just go to town.  Typically, unless the card is CAS...this is my process.  It inspires me because I am constantly looking at pretty products, and makes sure that I am using up my stash of product!!  It might require a little extra clean-up time, but it is definitely worth it!  Here is what I created:
