EBTKS Challenge #22- Around the House

Good morning! It time for our "Around the House Challenge" from EBTKS blog. And I am the host this month. And my item to use from around the house is Hair Accessories! It can be rubber bands, bobby pins, clips, etc... Just about everybody has some kind of hair accessory if they have hair or a daughter! I was at my sisters house a couple of weekends ago and we were looking through her daughters hair accessories. And I found the cutest butterfly that was made out of small rubber bands. So that got me thinking about cards and how than can be used on a card and be taken off to use as a gift too! :) And our sponsor is...Some Odd Girl! They are giving away 3 digital stamps of your choice to the winner! And they have some Cute digi stamps! So stop by their blog and check them out! :)

So here is what I came up with. Isn't that a cute rainbow?! It's the "Rainbow" from the Some Odd Girl Store. I printed out the rainbow and cut the rays and clouds apart and wrapped around different color rubber bands on the rays. And then adhered it with glue dots. It really reminds me of Rainbow Brite! Hence the sentiment! (but I think it was spelled Rainbow Brite.) :) Here is another card I made using hair accessories. That butterfly is similar to the one I saw at my sisters. And I used colored bobby pins for the flower stems too. Supplies: {Have a Rainbow Bright day! card} Cardstock: (Harvest Gold & white) PTI; Stamps: (Harold's ABC's) Lawn Fawn ; Digi stamps: (Rainbow) Some Odd Girl ; Ink: (Tuxedo Black) Memento; BG02 Copic marker ; Other: Rubber bands, glue dots, foam adhesive
{Happy Birthday Friend card} Cardstock: (White) PTI ; Stamps: sentiment (You're Dandy) Practicing Creativity, butterfly dashes (How Delightful) Lawn Fawn ; Ink: (Green) Hampton Art ; Other: Rubber bands, bobby pins, glue dots, floss
I had so much fun creating these cards! I hope you will join us over at the EBTKS challenge.
And stop by there for all the details.
Have a Blessed day!

    Thanks so much for the sweet comment you left on my blog today! I LOVE this challenge! I've actually done this before with a little hair clip that I gave my neice for her birthday. So fun! Hoping to give it a go, once again, for your challenge. Love what you've done with those hair bands! Too cute!

    Wow, cute cute cute!!! This is super creative!!! The EBTKS is always intimidating to me :P

    Thanks for your comments on my blog! I've been on blog hop hiatus it seems. I kind of got tired of fighting with Jovie over the keyboard lately or if she's sleeping I rather do chores cause if not the house would be a disaster. Me cleaning while she's awake would be a trail of mess right behind me where I just tidied up :P

    Hopefully she'll give me my keyboard back soon :P

    Winter, these are so cute and clever! Would never have thought of using hair accessories on a card until this challenge. Thanks for the inspiration!
