Crafters of Faith February Blog Hop!

Good morning, cafe friends!

It is the last day of the month, and you know what that means? Crafters of Faith Blog Hop!

And it's the last day of February, and you know what that means? My birthday! :)

I decided to combine birthdays and blog hops for today's card!

Tami, our blog hop hostess this month, gave us a real challenge. Use a scoring tool, include a sentiment and image on the front of the card, and do not use red, pink or white (we're done with Valentines, thank you very much!).

Well, you know how it is. As soon as someone tells you not to use something, that's all you can think of to use! Every patterned paper I looked at had red, pink and white. It's like when someone tells you "DON'T think of monkeys!", and all you can think of are monkeys.

I cheated a bit on this card...I used cream card stock. Not white, I tell you! Cream!

I also cheated because I don't own a Scor-Pal. I'm not a gal that jumps on bandwagons too quickly.  Just look at how long it took me to get a diecutting machine! So in place of the Scor-Pal, I used the scoring blade on my paper cutter. I thought it'd be fun to make a sweet scored frame for this little scene.

There's something you should know about the amazing ladies at Crafters of Faith. They decorate the INSIDE of their cards, too! How fancy is that? They are such a blessing to me!
