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'.
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
