Anyway, now onto my card for today.
This yummy creation is for both challenges~ HFOS: You're a sweet one and SD: layers.

Pinch to Grow an inch~

Here is the card that I planned on showing all of you yesterday. But I didn't get a chance.
This fun card was going to be my PIO design team card. I started working on it really late on Friday, that way I would have it ready for Sunday's challenge. Since my sweet husband made plans to go away for the weekend. After I was all finished with picking out my challenges and with the card. I headed over to add it to the blog, but started looking at all of the other wonderful cards by the DT. Soon I realized that I did the wrong challenge. Guess I should double check my challenges before making my card. Oh well!
Here are the challenge I used:
HFOS: something old (old designer paper)
Crafty Creations: spots and dots
Creative Card Crew: dotty
Fab n’ Funky: new (digi stamp)
Little Red Wagon: copics
