For Cath (sans CHA) with Love Blog Hop

Hello friends and new visitors!!  How many of you know what CHA is??  Well, for me, I imagine it to be crafting heaven......a convention center filled with every possible scrapping item.....the latest and greatest under the sun.  Since I have never been, I live vicariously through those of you who do go and share your experiences.  One of those whom I follow the whole CHA experience with over the last few years is Cath Edvalsen who is the Trends Editor for Paper Crafts and also runs the Moxie Fab World Blog.  Well, due to a nasty pain in one of her shoulders, she wasn't able to attend this year, so to cheer her up, I decided to join in on a blog hop just for her.

Here is my 'up-lifting' card......

I used some stamps from Taylored Expressions and my Copic markers on this card.  The kites are stamped on patterned paper scraps and then cut out and adhered with some dimensional adhesive.  The kite string is some white crochet thread.  I used my fringe scissors for the grass and then went back and cut the 'blades' to various heights to make it look a little more like grass.  I also used some scissors to distress around the edges of the white cardstock.  I used a few strands of embroidery floss to stitch around the card and some twine from The Twinery and a button at the bottom of the card.

So, are you ready to join us in this fun blog hop??  Click on the pic of Cath below to check out the list and the details of this fab blog hop (don't forget to leave some *love* for Cath along the way):

Since I just love participating in the Moxie Fab World Challenges, I created this card for the Cool Tools Week: Cutting and Trimming Challenge.  Thanks so much Cath for all of your wonderful and inspiring posts over the years and I hope that you are feeling better soon!! ♥

Thanks everyone for stopping by!!

Hugs,
Amy
