Challenge Me Wednesday: EXTRA

I'm so glad there's an extra Wednesday in the month of May! We've had great inspiration all month, and it's nice to have a chance to send a little more your way. I have three projects for you--a pop-up card and 2 altered frames--so let's take a look.

For Mother's Day this year, I made a pop-up card for my mom. I used Echo Park's Graceful collection for the patterned paper. 

If you pull the little tag at the top, here's what happens:

Here's a close-up of the tag:

And here it is with the envelope (it fits a standard A2 envelope). 

Next up are two inexpensive craft frames that I altered. In addition to the Graceful collection, I also used Echo Park's Charming collection. (This and Aweso{ME} by Simple Stories are my favorite boy collections.) The buttons on the "Daughter" frame are from a retired Echo Park collection. The beauty of many of our new collections is that they still coordinate very well with previous collections you might still have in your stash!

I hope you enjoyed a bit of mid-week inspiration. Don't forget to give yourself time to create something this week!
