Bicycle Note Card Set


I recently participated in a Spin-a-thon fundraiser to help my local Y raise money to send low income kids in the community to camp.  I have done this every year, and it is the biggest spinning party around. It is such a fun party.   If you are a regular reader, you know how addicted I am to spinning, and how many great card ideas I get when I'm just sittin' and spinnin'. 

I made this card set for the gal who organized the entire event.  I was inspired by these cards by my friend Kristin.



Here is what the set looked like all packaged up:


Here is a picture of me on my bike.  We had crazy hats and all sorts of other stuff to decorate our bikes and ourselves:


Supplies Used:
Stamps:  Hero Arts Joy Ride, Paper Smooches Pretty Phrases, PTI Background Basics Gingham, Homemade Hodgepodge, Clear Dollar Bicycle
Paper:  PTI White, Kraft
Other:  Dies:  Celebrations, Limitless Layers Ovals




Thanks for Visiting

  4. That looks like so much fun Joyce! I would have loved to do that with you, although I probably would have spent most of the time in an ambulance. Your cards are so perfect for the occasion, love the bicycles and they are going to be a great gift for the person who organized this fundraiser. Lucky her!
