When I think about October I think about Breast Cancer Awareness Month and when I think of Breast Cancer Awareness Month I think of pink. When I think of pink I think of pinking shears - those strange scissors that fascinated me in my Mother's sewing kit. Your challenge is to make a card with a decorative edge!
The first thought I had for decorating the edge of a card involved cutting with things like decorative edge scissors, edgelets, or decorative edge border punches. And then when out browsing at a craft store I ran across an embossing folder from Cuttlebug called Pinking Stitch. It only embosses the edge of the card stock. I then remembered the Framed Tulips embossing folder from Stampin' Up. It just embosses the edge of a card also. Who's to say that's not a decorative edge? I'm sure there must be many other ways to decorate the edge of your card! I'm looking forward to seeing what all of you come up with!

I combined with today's sketch. I hope you can see my decorative edge! It's so dark and gloomy that I had to change the angle I was taking my photo at - but I think I can spot some blue sky now so I might get a better photo.
Nice card Sabrina! Is that scalloped ribbon? It does decorate an edge of the card!
I had a decorative edge cut along the right edge of the card. It didn't show so well in my first photo (poor light!!) but I got a better one in a brief sunny interval . I hope to make another one for this, too - just wanted to get today's sketch challenge in!!
I was fascinated by my mothers pinking shears, too! Actually, I HATED sewing...until a few years ago. Now, I can't stop sewing and I have my own pair of fabric (and paper) pinking shears.
Thank you!
Here is my card.

For today's edging challenge, I went with a corrugated, pinked edge- for my edgy card- with Stamping Bella's All Punked Up And Nowhere To Go- with a metallic gear segment and some colorful flosses. Here's Musical Thanks

Your card is SO CUTE! I really like it! Thanks for playing along!
Found this cute stamp from Stampendous- Partridge Tree- and had to use it, along with SU's Circle of Friendship for this birthday card. Added some ribbons, an embossed background from my stamping buddies, and a vertical light green pinking shears edged border. Here's Partridge in a Pear Tree
