I'm Soooo Excited!!

Remember this post about the contest I entered to become a guest designer on the Stamp Something blog? I didn't win, but that's okay because I (along with the other entries) was asked to be a Guest Designer for this weeks challenge while the regular DT gets a week off. It's a nice easy, and fun theme this week-Birthdays! Iknew what I wanted to do with this challenge as soon as Denise emailed me about it, but I had to wait for my order to come in. I was starting to sweat it, but as you know it arrived just in the nick of time. So right after I tore into my boxes and ran two die through the Big Shot, I had to run downstairs and put this card together. I was praying it would go together just like I had it in my head and sure enough it did! So you look at the outside of the card and think, okay, cute but nothing special, well it is the inside of the card that packs the punch! We saw the cutest card demo'd like this at Convention and everyone just Ooo'd and Ahhh'd! I had to give it a go and let me tell you it is so easy to do. The spirals are just circles that are fist punched out and then you cut around the circle till you have no more cs left to cut (you are cutting an outline so-to-speak of the circle.) If I get a chance I'll try to get a quick little tutorial up just so you can see (I'm a visual learner) how it is done. Then you just stamp and cut out little images to stick to different parts of the spiral you created. I used my new Party Hearty stamp set for this along with the vibrant and fun Pacific Point, Kiwi Kiss and Tangerine Tango color combo.
ETA: oops, I am a day early. Guess you get a sneak peek at tomorrow's Stamp Something Challenge. Just shows how excited I really am about this!

Hugs,
