Swirly Frames A Better Friend

Hello Stampers ~ a cute Swirly Frames A Better Friend idea is the card today.

Well I went to the craft fair yesterday.  I did not buy anything and it was interesting to see the different vendors and what they have to offer.  There were quite a few people there so it was well attended.  After that I came home and got lunch and then went and had a pedicure.  I had to fix my lights on my trees out front as a section blew out.  I now have different strands on each tree so I hope that takes care of the issue for the rest of the season.  I then went to my studio and made 2 videos for later this month.  My lights came in late in the evening so I took some time and set them up.  They are on a timer to come on at the same time every evening and stay on for 4 hours.  I am crossing my fingers that it works.  If so I have lights in all my windows now.  Today I am spending the day in my studio.  I want to make some cards for the blog this week, I need to put together my supplies for my Small Gift class tomorrow, and I need to finish the kids items so I can mail out their box on Monday.  It will be a busy day!

It is my 10 Minute Creation video day.  I have a fun idea that was inspired by another demonstrator who’s videos I have been watching lately.  I took her idea and modified it for my card front.  Here is the video for my Swirly Frames A Better Friend creation.

This is one of my first uses of the Swirly Frames stamp set so I will have to play with it some more.  I do have some ideas for the Beautiful Bouquet.  Check out this idea that uses the set for an All Occasion card.  Don’t forget you can use your catalog for inspiration like I did for this card.  Here is an idea where I sponged some die cuts to make my bouquet on the front of the card.
