1st post!

I'm very excited to start a blog! I've been looking at other people's blogs for awhile now and I thought this could be a good opportunity to start one! Since summer's almost over, I don't know how often I will be posting with all my activities during the school year. But if you have time, come and visit! I'm still learning a lot about this hobby but I'm enjoying it so far!

So this weekend my family's heading to Kansas City for my cousin's wedding! My mom asked if I could make a card for it, so I'll share it to you!

The colors of the wedding are red and tiffany blue. I recently got the flower die cut from Papertrey and I've used it so much! I love it!


Here's the close-up. It's very clean and simple and thats why I like this card so much! Feel free to leave me comments, let me know what you think! Thanks for coming by and looking!

    Beautiful card, Laura. Love the color scheme and your bloom - those dies are on my wish list! I applaud you for getting your blog started up - looks great! I've been making cards for two years and still don't have my blog up and running (a bit intimidated I guess).

    Congrats on starting a blog, and you have made such a beautiful card for your first post! I love the color scheme, and your design clean and simple, I really like that, let's those beautiful colors really pop! I started my blog at the beginning of the year and I really enjoy being able to share with the paper crafting community. I've made many new friends and learned a lot. It is a great way to branch out. Keep up the good work, look forward to seeing more. :)

Well done! And may I just say that you have a very good "first passion" in your life. :) Welcome to the crafting world! :)
