Jillian and Friends Blog Bash

Happy National Scrapbooking Day!

To celebrate the day, I am playing along with all of the terrific ladies over at the A Jillian Vance Design blog in their Jillian and Friends Blog Bash. I guess that makes me a friend. If you aren't familiar with this company, I invite you to check them out. Everything about AJVD is fabulous, from the fantastic designs made from the highest quality of materials to the really great customer service. Their online store is easy to navigate and the turn-around-time from the moment you hit the 'confirm order' button to the time the mailman brings you your happy mail is incredibly fast.

This has been a crazy week for me so I ended up creating a CAS card. I must admit I really like how it turned out. The border along the bottom of the card is the Quatrefoil Background. I stamped it, matted it on a black panel, wrapped a red ribbon around it and adhered it to the card base using foam adhesive. The sentiment is from a little set that AJVD included in one of my orders (what was I saying about customer service?) and was stamped using Ranger Archival Jet Black ink. I added a little bling and the card was done. Simple yet elegant.

Thank you for visiting my blog today. I hope you enjoy the bash. It's been an honor to play along with these very talented ladies, who have all used fantastic A Jillian Vance Design products. If you have been following along in order, your next stop will be at Rhonda's blog. I know you are going to love what she created!
