Day 14 - DIY

As we approach the end of our 2nd week, we come very close to announcing another Card of the Week winner (or winners). DT member Tammy gets credit for her excellent idea to offer a special prize for those who win COTW: an extra special blinkie!! So I turned to Ragan at Blogger Boutique who created this fabulous blinkie~





How cute is that? Very! So for those who won last week, and those who win in the future, you can grab the code over in the sidebar and throw it in a post or on your sidebar.

Now for today's challenge: Do-it-Yourself

Has this ever happened to you - Sometimes you put together a lovely card with perfectly matched pattern papers and just the right sentiment, but you're just not satisfied with the embellishments you have on hand? Why not use some patterned paper to make it yourself?

Today we challenge you to make your own Flower Embellishment out of paper. Not sure how to do that? Well look no further than DT member Vicky's card:

WOW! That was what I thought the first time I looked at this card. For an awesome tutorial on how to make this and other flower embellishment pop over to Vicky's blog. And a HUGE congrats to Vicky who recently found out that she will be designing for Instyle Stamp's Retro line!

Got the DIY bug yet? Well get to it, and link up!
