Today I was inspired to use some fun paper straws again. You may remember this card I created a few weeks back. I am in love with all of the fun paper straws out there so I am trying to be creative and incorporate them in my papercrating.
I incorporated some of the wicked cute Doodlebug Designs paper and mixed it with some Authentique Smitten Papers and word fetti stickers. As far as the paper straw goes, I just used some glossy accents to glue it to the side of the card. I finished off this design by rounding the corners.
Today for my creative friend I have Laura. I actually had a few friends point out to me her super inspiring blog, and I just knew I wanted to invite her to my blog hop. Her style is SO fun. She has a ton of ideas on her blog and even shares tutorial videos! Guess what?! She is only 16!!! Here is a peek of what she has in store for you, be sure to visit her blog and remember SHARE the love 😉 and see you tomorrow!
