Think about it Thursday

If you were stranded on a

desert island

had all the paper, ink, and stamps

 you would ever need

but could only have 5 other

tools or embellishments

with you what would you choose?

I would pick

1. Fikar paper trimmer

2. Teflon bone folder

3. Sizzix big shot

4. all my dies

5. ribbon

Love all the pastel colors in your card so very pretty.

The scallop border at the top is a great idea.

So funny I never thought to but a border on the top

always use them on the bottom. Know this card

brought joy whoever received it.
