Papercraft Star Challenge 157

It's the middle of the week and I am so ready for the weekend!  This week over at the Papercraft Star we have a beautiful photo challenge for you.  I can't say how much I love this photo!  I can remember being a kid and riding my bike around the neighborhood with my friends all summer long.  The sun would come up I'd eat my breakfast and it was "so long mom, I'll see you for dinner", and I'd go off with my brother and wouldn't come home until my dad would whistle for us to come eat dinner.

For my card I started out with a butter cream card stock from Taylored Expressions.  I then matted some patterned papers from October Afternoon.   The lined paper is from Simple Stories.  I tucked a bit of a doily behind the lined paper and added a simple bow made from seam binding.  I then used my Spellbinder circle die to cut an image from The House Across The Bay's,  Vintage Seeds 229 page.  Then I used another Spellbinder die to cut a coordinating loopy circle in blue card stock.  

Next I used an adorable little wooden laser cut bicycle that I embossed using very vanilla embossing power and adhered it to my card.  A fun little butterfly from October Afternoon along with a simple sentiment also from an October Afternoon embellishment pack.  

For more inspiration see the other design team member's wonderful creations on the Papercraft Star blog.  Thank you for stopping by and have a wonderful week.
