Hello and Welcome to the 14th Edition of Flashback Friday!

Let's first start with our Sponsor:



My name is Lisa Hjulberg and I'm the owner of The Craft's Meow. Opening this store is a dream come true for me... I'm following Henry David Thoreau's advice to Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined. I've imagined this for a very long time!

I'm also very excited to introduce you to Little Frieda and Friends, a line of stamps that will be carried exclusively by The Craft's Meow

Pretty Fabulous, eh?!

Next up is my Guest Designer, Lawren Fowlkes:


Hello everyone, my name is Lawren Fowlkes. I live in Central Florida, land of Mickey Mouse and it is hot, hot, hot here right now. 
I have been crafting for a long time. My first craft was sewing, my mother taught me at a young age and I have been sewing ever since. I eventually got into scrapbooking and that seemed to take over my hobbies.

I have one daughter who is usually the subject of most of my scrapbooking. I have been scrapbooking about 10 years and card making for about 4 years. In addition to my paper crafts I also, crochet, knit, read fiction books and hoard paper crafting supplies. 
This is why I named my blog AHobby-holic.  

I am so excited to be hosting the next Flashback Friday Challenge.
  
Challenge:

For this challenge we want to see your first gift card holder.

Here is Lawren's:



Make sure you pop over to her blog, AHobby-holic and leave her some of that fabbie Flashback Friday bloggie love!

Here's my first gift card holder:



It's a gift card wallet...I remember making it for my brother...circa December 2008.

There you have it...such a fun challenge and a fabbie sponsor!

You have until Friday, August 26th @ 11:59 pm PST to link up!

Amy - if that's your first gift card holder...I would love to see one you've done recently. That's fabulous. I love the colors and the design. Mine was so basic. LOL! Thank you for letting me pick the challenge, this is so much fun.

I love gift card holders....I only started making them a little over a year ago and I *forgot* to take a picture of my first one before I gave it away, but I just posted my second one.....plus I have a tutorial on my blog on how to make it. ;)

Fun stuff! I know I have made these before...now I just need to see if I ever posted one...off to check :>)

I struck out! I think a gift card holder is usually a last minute creation from me - literally, the final minutes before we have to leave the house to go to a party. Alas, no time for pics!!!

I just came across your challenge blog - LOVE it! Unbelievably, I've never made a gift card holder, so I can't enter this one. I'm really looking forward to the next challenge though!
