Three Little Words

So it's FRIDAY!!!  I hope everyone is getting ready to enjoy their weekend!  While reading one of my favorite blogs, Papercraft Star, I discovered that they have message board.  One of the threads is a "question of the day"  This past week Angi asked the question, "Have you ever tried to change your crafty style as things change or new trends come out of the industry?"  Good question.  Which got me thinking, what is my crafty style anyway?  I know I love to create vintage style projects, but I do like to try the latest trend.  One trend I've been seeing is scrunched binding and chipboard frames.  For this card I used a "Buff Ivory" card stock from The Kraft Outlet as the base of my card.  I also used the same card stock to stamp my image and make the frame.  To create the frame I used two dies from Spellbinders labels 9 and embossed it with a cuddle bug folder called textured textiles.  I distressed the frame with distress inks by Ranger.  For the embellishments I used seam binding by 7 Gypsies (also purchased from the Kraft Outlet) which I altered by soaking it in water and scrunching it up in a ball and letting it dry. The lace is from an old wedding dress I rescued from the Good Will.  The gem butterfly was purchased from Taylored Expressions. So what's your crafty style?  Thank you for stopping by and have a wonderful day!
