You should have arrived here from Christy's blog!  I'm sure you loved her card!  For my project today I created this card:


 I started with a piece of water color paper that I trimmed down to 5x7 so it would fit into the hot pink envelope that I got from Hobby Lobby.



I filled a 4x6 Becky Higgins Fuse brand photo pocket with some of the Let's Be Mermaids Mix, a few of the pink sequins from the Mint Chip Mix and a good helping of the Fairy Dust.  I sewed it shut with my sewing machine and then sewed it onto my card.




I added the "Thank You" Thicker from the new Amy Tangerine line Oh Happy Life.  I used my typewriter to type out " Dear friend..." and adhered it to the pocket using my EZ Runner Grand.



I used a Hot Pink Heart Feltie to embellish and topped it with two enable hearts from my stash.  One from Amy Tangerine and one from Faith Illustrated.

I hope you enjoyed my quick and easy card!  Don't forget to keep hopping along for a chance to win that $10 shop credit!  Next you are off to Hannah's blog!  Enjoy!
