The Alley Way Stamps Blog Hop

Hi! Welcome to the Alley Way Stamps January Release Hop! You should have arrived here from Anni's blog!

I created a gift card holder that doubles as a Fairy Tale book.  As soon as I saw the Once Upon A Time set, I knew exactly what to do with it!


I colored it in using Spectrum Noir markers and I was inspired by Cinderella's castle in Disneyworld (I have my own 4 year old "princess" at home, so I pretty much live and breathe Disney these days!).  I created the background using Distress Inks.


And, of course, I had to make a matching tag, too! The "Party" sentiment comes from the Party Animal set.


I even made sure the "spine" had writing on it to make it look like a real book.  :)



I am entering this in the CASology challenge: Week 76 Party!



And now, time to hop!!!! The DT has some AMAZING projects out there!!! Enjoy! Next on the stop is Christine and the entire list is below:
