A girl’s gotta have skills and I’ve been expanding mine to include creating widgets, banners and for all you fans of bling…virtual glitter: 
My sister bloggers out there will understand just how flippin’ cool this little bit of coding is and why I felt the need to post it 
Now back to my Craft Table (IRL)!

For this card, it’s back to the basics: Stamps, Ink and Paper…but combined with a striking color selection and bold stamps you get a card that is anything but "basic". This is a birthday card for one of my best friends, Jessica (Hey, CuteShoes!) She makes cards, scrapbooks, drives a tractor mower, is a Girl Scout Troop Leader and PFA president…did I mention she’s also the Hostess with the Most-est? (I’m exhausted just thinking about it!) and while she can appreciate my more intricate creations, she is always looking for quick and cute ideas. Can’t say that I blame her…when does she have time for anything else? So, I made her this card…to wish her a Happy Birthday and hopefully inspire her as much as she inspires me!
*Note: For those of you who need a little more "sparkle"…a dab of Crystal Effects or Stickles on her lips and earring look gorgeous!
Edited January 6, 2009: For those who missed the online class, I’m posting the instructions for my Jewel Case Album HERE. This PDF includes page-by-page instructions and photographs…but you’ll definitely want to join us for the next class…they’re a HIT!
I’m teaching an online class on Tuesday for Hearts In Touch Rubber Stamps and we’ll be creating a Jewel Case Album. If you haven’t heard of HIT before, these are some truly beautiful and unique stamp designs (Did I mention Frances makes a custom "Family Album" set, too? Be sure to check that out!). All are available unmounted along with a ton of Paper Crafting supplies, online. The HIT Yahoo! Group is home to some of the most talented stampers around, so if you’re looking for some inspiration feel free to join!
