Gina K Designs August Blog Hop Day 3

What a fun set this is!  I added a little faux stitching and made this bday card for my girlfriend.  She is going to love this :).

This is my party sample for Various Verses.  This is the Buy 3 get this one for free.  Great sayings, fabulous fonts.  I will be using this set alot!!  Gina does know what we want~ :).  Here is another sample I have made for this hop.
 I used the direct to paper for a background on this card.  Just swipe your ink pad on the cardstock.  Love this effect also.
That's it for me.  I sure hope you had a great time with the August hop - I know I did!
Thanks for stopping in -- the rest of the DT's are listed below.

You've always got something new and different to show, Vicki! I like that direct to paper technique; looks 'snowy' or 'foggy'. Pretty cool stuff!
