Above is a quick walk through of my project.  There are a few pictures below.

I made a "Flip Up Folio" following a tutorial from Frances Long, and using the "Making Waves" paper pack from CTMH.  This is such a quick and easy project, and it uses a surprisingly small amount of patterned paper.  I just LOVE how it turned out!

Die Cuttin Diva - Favorite Colour Combo

Happy Tuesday everyone!  Welcome to a brand new challenge over at Die Cuttin Divas!  Today's challenge is to use your FAVORITE COLOUR COMBO.  I can't wait to show you what I created.

It will come as no surprise to anyone who visits my blog on occasion, that I really love pink.  My favorite thing is to use it with neutrals, like white (or cream) and black.  Today I decided to make a little set of note cards.  I used a cut from Lyrical Letters, that I flipped, so the leaf was on the left.  I then cut the letter M - my first initial - from the Quarter Note cartridge.  I added some little embellishments, and voila!  A simple note card, in my favorite colours.
