Inspiration from my fave - t!m holtz

happy friday to all my little blogger friends! man, this week certainly motored by! one day you`re making a card for Mojo Monday, and the next thing you know it`s the weekend!

today i`ve got 2 cards to share with you. the first is for day 125 on 365 Cards - It`s a Snap. today`s challenge is to make a card with some sort of closure on it - whether it be tied with ribbon, a buckle, a magnet, you get the gist of it!
i love how this card turned out - the muted colours, the ink blending, the whole shebang! fabulous! (grin) you know i love to toot my own horn when the need arises... hehehe! i was having such a great time playing with these products that i made a 2nd card, not for the challenge, just for the joy of it. yes, i`m in love with stamping, can`t you tell. to quote t!m holtz (since i used mostly his products today) - i had an infiltration of inspiration! love it!
