It's my birthday today and we will be starting on our journey home. As great as this vacation has been, it's always nice to arrive back to your own home. To celebrate I wanted to have a bit of a giveaway. No photo of the RAK because I don't have access to my scraproom but I'll find something when I get back for one of my readers. You'll have until Sunday 9 pm EST to post.

I actually made this card for a Fiskars challenge. It's challenge # 11 for the online crop on the Fiskateer board that started Wednesday. This challenge was to use a stamp to create a back ground and then punch it out. I decided to get creative with my Mint Motif stamps. I used Cake Shoppe Too in a non traditional way. I stamped the background with polka dots and then used my Fiskars Seal of Approval Squeeze punch to created these flowers. I also used one of the 'cake' stamps to create the scalloped yellow boarder that's under the red October Afternoon paper. I love using products in a creative way that it wasn't intended for. What about you, have you ever tried using a product for other than what it was meant for?

Well, I'm off to pack and hit the road. I can't believe that CHA is wrapping up as well. Can't wait to see all the new products hit the shelves!

Have a blessed day!
