For my Contest Project, I created a Card that I will be sending to a friend. The Rules for All Projects are  1.)  The use of  any tool to create a decorative border on at least one side of the Project. And 2.) The Project must be created using at least 50% of product purchased from CropChocolate.com.

My Card was created with MME "Paris & Co." Patterned Paper, Tim Holtz Distress Ink, MME Tres Jolee "Cherish" Quote card, Kraft Cardstock, & White Cardstock. Other Products used include Spellbinder's "Edgeabilities", Prima Pearls, Anna Griffin Flower, some misc. Lace, and a small blue paper Flower. Here is my finished Card:

Here is a view from the side:

And one final look. The quote reads "Friends, they are kind to each other's hopes. They CHERISH each other's dreams. -Henry David Thoreau"

Here is a shot that shows the cut Edgework of all Three Layers. Also cut out the "Fleur' de' lis" pattern along with a different Edge for that Layer of patterned paper. The way the paper was aligned, a "secondary" pattern is created :) 

Thank you so much for stopping by!  

In addition to the prizes previously mentioned, I will ALSO be giving away some "blog candy" of my own!  All you need to do to be eligible to win is to leave a comment here, and become a "follower" of my blog! (Hint: My giveaway will include something from "Basic Grey") Winner will be selected randomly from all those who meet the requirements.
