Hello my crafty friends
It's Saturday and that means a new challenge at the Crazy4Challenges Blog. This month our hostess is Karen Ostergard! Donna K is joining us as our Guest Designer and you can find Donna's blog HERE.
I made our nephew a birthday card, and since they live in Arizona I pulled out my SW themed paper stack that a friend knew I'd love and bought for me.
The front has Karen Burniston's new 'HOWDY', and one of the cut-aparts from the paper stack.
Inside I used the new Train Pivot Panel, turned vertically. This gives you a dynamic, generic pop-up with lots of platforms to decorate!
I used stamps and dies from Taylored Expressions that I had picked up earlier this year. In fact, since I was using a template and my MISTI for the stamping, I stamped & die cut a small stack of the cacti to use on other projects!
Love these little banner dies ...

This is Karen's challenge for the week: Today is my son's birthday - today's challenge is to inspire us with a masculine birthday card.
