More Reasons to Celebrate

I found some fun new challenge blogs recently, A Vintage Journey (Tim Holtz themed) and Craft Hoarders Anonymous (boy do I need to use up some stash in their challenges!) I made a card to fit both of their current challenges - make something "all about him" and use your hoarded ribbon, twine, etc. I have a friend who is about to finish his Masters degree so I made this card for him:

The "frame" is ribbon and rick-rack stapled together and then painted black to visually unify it and bring out the texture. I think it is also appropriately manly in colors and imagery so it fits the Vintage Journey's All About Him challenge. ;-)

Also, don't forget about the May Celebrate! challenge at Inspiration Journal. You have until the end of the month to link up your project for a chance to win $50 to spend at Inspiration Emporium.

Most of the supplies I used for this card can be found at Inspiration Emporium. Follow the links below and use my code JUICE to save 10% if you go shopping. I will also point out that US shipping is always $5 and international shipping is just $10! ;-)
