I am sorry I was super quiet this weekend. I fun weekend filled with my favorite things: friends, family, good movie, great food and beach!

Saturday was girls day! Two friends and I first went to the movies (Maid of Honor! Great girl flick) and to P.F. Changs. Sunday mornings are always blocked out for work on the SCS newsletter. In the afternoon I took Lucas and Rebecca to the beach! The waves were awesome. Perfect for boogy boarding.  We had a great time.

Here is a gift card holder I made out of a Wild Wasabi carousel Note.

I made it as a variation for the Trifold Pocket card tutorial.

I scored the Carousel Note at 1 3/4″ on the left and right of the round Note card.

Then I scored 2″ on the bottom, and cut the two outer panels off.

I stamped a leaf from the Unity Stamp set Graditude = Joy on the outside flaps, sponged the edges and used my Crop-a-dile to add holes in each scallop.

For the sentiment panel I inked up the stamp with Creamy Caramel, Bravo Burgundy (shading) and Wild Wasabi ink. The sentiment is stamped in Bravo Burgundy. The Vanilla cardstock was punched out with the 1 3/8″ circle punch and layered on a sponged Bravo Burgundy scallop circle.

The speckles were added with the Burgundy Marker and the Color Spritz Tool.

Dawn Griffith sent me super cute suspension card.

That apple spins and has an identical apple on the other side of the circle.
