Papertrey Ink's Blog Hop - Marvelous Monograms and Dynamic Duo's #41



It's the 25th again and that means it is time for Papertrey Ink's Blog Hop. This month's theme is Marvelous Monograms, at first I had a difficult time coming up with an idea then Joyce from Cards-by-the-Sea gave me an amazing idea, use my card to double as Ashleigh's birthday card, she turned 21 yesterday.  We spent the day in San Francisco and she wanted to have a shot sitting at the bar with her dad in Lefty O'Doul's. Ashleigh loved her card, so thank you Joyce for the help!
I decided to use Lucy to make my monogram, there are so many beautiful ones and since Ashleigh's favorite color is blue my card will work for this week's Dynamic Duo's challenge.
Thank you so much for taking the time to stop by to peek at my card...have a wonderful day!

    What a beautiful card. That 'A' is just gorgeous, and looks wo pretty sitting atop that Mat Stack. And, now, I need that cuttlebug folder--that must be a new one. So glad you think I inspired you, but this card is all KIM.
