I'm not sure what the weather is like where you are, but here, its actually starting to get nice outside. When I say, 'nice' I mean 70 degree weather, with the sun shining. This winter, to me, has been long. Before you think that I hate the winter, I don't. I love sitting at home, watching the snow fall outside. The trees covered with snow. The whisp of smoke from our chimney. However, we haven't had a lot of snow. But, we have had a lot of cold temperatures. And I am not a fan of cold temperatures. Did I mention that it snowed here on Sunday evening. And yes, it was 70 today.
Anyways, Anita, over @ Our Creative Corner is our hostess this week. Anita, would like you to show us your 'spring break vacation destination'. The only other requirement is to include the name of your destination on your paper craft item. Sounds pretty fun!
Here is my card:

I used two different stamp sets: Avignon, and Greetings from Paris. I cut a scrap piece of very vanilla card stock to create my own postcard. Then I used various stamp pads to stamp the different stamps: Desert Sand, Twilight, Crumb Cake, Early Espresso, Soft Suede, and Chocolate Chip.
The doily is actually a 4" paper doily, that I cut in half and adhered to the back of the yellow pattern paper. I wrapped a piece of Baja Breeze seam binding around the card front. I made one of those multi-loop bows. I added another bow made out of white bakers twine and then a small paper blossom from Prima.
Thank you for stopping by. Now, lets see your 'spring break vacation destination!
