My "go to" pile is often my October Afternoon bin. Their patterned papers, stickers, and embellishments always make for fun cards and mini albums. It's just always been one of my most favorite companies because all the different lines just work together SO well. You just have to love October Afternoon! I used three different OA patterned papers, a flag (to which I added a Pebbles in My Pocket rub-on), a pin, some stickers, pieces from the Flower Sack, a die-cut from Papertrey Ink, some ribbons, and machine stitching. I simply LOVE it all!
I would like to enter this card in the following challenges:
Simon Says Stamp Challenge Blog - Happy Birthday Challenge
Really Reasonable Ribbon Challenges - Challenge #69 - Buttons and Bows - I used a "button" from October Afternoon and two different ribbons
The Ribbon Reel Challenge - Challenge #50 - Mix and Match - I love the concept of mixing and matching various patterned papers. I used one solid cardstock and covered it with striped washi tape, and then used two October Afternoon patterned papers, and of course.....delicious ribbons!
