Linda's First Challenge

One of the sweet lady who found my blog happens to run her first fun challenge and she invited me to join her.  Her name is Linda and her blog is, Lindascreativity.  Her first challenge is Preprinted Cards.  She wants us to turn a dull ready made card into something nice and pretty.

I admit I am guilty of hoarding those pretty pre-printed cards and it's been sitting and collecting dust in my craft room.  Like Linda, when I grab those cards, I have all the intention of turning it into something that has my trademark on it.  But like usual, I never get the chance to play with them.  Thanks Linda for this awesome challenge!

Here's my take.  Just so you know I bought these cute little cards at Target Supercenter in May 2010.  Yeah, that long!  I got these bright and cheery pre-printed cards for $1 and it has 8 sets of cards and envies.  I made all 8 cards in less than an hour and to be honest I want to make some more!  Okay, enough babbling...

This is how it looks like after taking it out of the packaging

Almost done...

Now, I have a total of 8sets of card and who would think that it was just a $1 when I got it.

I was planning to include this set of cards as added gift to the lucky winner of my blog candies.
