Thinking of you today.

Here's a fun lil' card I made with the Lemonade paper pack from BasicGrey. I don't know when it happened, but all of a sudden, I have to get all their paper packs - they are just too fun. What's fun too - in a fancy-schmancy kinda way - is this ribbon!!! This ribbon is from Melissa Frances it's just sooo pretty. Now I ain't gonna lie to ya', it's a little spendy - the pack of 5 different ribbons is $6.75 - but if you are mindful and don't wrap the ribbon around and use it to embellish instead of making it a huge focal point, you can stretch your uses and get your money's worth on this one. Or, you can always just have it in the back of your mind and wait for Lindsey at Jacksonbelle Embellishments to have a sale and then get it *wink*

Speaking of sales - have you been to A Million Memories yet? Oh how I love that store. And the owner, her name's Michelle too, is like super nice and just has the bestest customer service ever! It must be in the name, because people say I'm super nice too (not really - ha). Anyway, she has super sales all the time - and clearance all the time too. The little clothes pin here is from Hero Arts and Michelle has them on clearance a pack of 25 of them for $1.12 - that's 4.5-cents per!! Now that is a cost-effective embellie right there, girls. And by the way - that was just a plain wooden clothes pin that I dabbed in my Scarlet Jewel ink to match my sentiment and the rest of the card.

Have a super day, Girls - thanks for dropping by!

Oh I see you are going to make me go out and buy the MF ribbon right away! I love it and agree it can be used on a card as strip and be just as beautiful! TFS!

You are making me fall in love with this paper, too. It's pretty. And the clothespin thing is really cute. Soon....I will have some Scarlet Jewel. I'm waiting for the new releases just in case I need a stamp set, too ;)

I think the clothespin is my new favorite embellishment. This paper is awesome too.
