"Let's celebrate! Nancy Damiano here! Creating simple cards with a little pop of something special is a fun, creative outlet for me. I love to add texture and layers of color with patterned paper and stickers. Here, layers of paper from American Craft's Happy Place are stacked to create this fun birthday card. The balloon sticker pops up just over the card for a fun "floating" effect and is kept in place with a gold bow clip.
My favorite part is the little touch of fringe crepe paper at the bottom of the card. It's a simple, but unexpected touch that creates movement and a bit of fun.
Wishing the crew and fans of Scrapbook & Cards Today all the best. Here's to many, many more years of celebrating!" ~ Nancy Damiano

You'll find the likes of Pink Paislee, Crate Paper, and plenty of exclusive Cocoa Daisy in our main scrapbooking kit.

We've got die cuts, sequins, a shipping tag, and two alphabets. String, stickers, and stamps finish finish it up nicely. We can't wait to share this kit with one lucky reader! Happy 10th Birthday Scrapbook & Cards Today. Here's to many more!"

Love the Close to my Heart collection - sometimes very hard to find paper in purple prints. Have a granddaughter who's favourite colour is purple. The Cocoa Daisy collection is also very inspiring.
