Today I'm sharing a fun card I made featuring patterned papers and embellies from American Crafts. I love brown and red together - it's just so warm - the only downfall for me is when I make a card with a base of brown cardstock, is having to put a white insert on the inside of the card to write on it and I always forget that until it's time to use it!
This Merrymint line of papers and the coordinating embellies like this sweet candy cane have been so fun to play with this year!
Oh - and every now and then I like to share conversations with my mom re: the things that I make. Here's another one....:
Me: Hey ma, look at this card, pretty, no?
My mom: Yes.....but it's ripped.
Me: Ripped, where?
My mom: Right there by the words so you can really notice it.
Me: Ma, it's supposed to be that way; I tore the edge to break up the square-square look.
My mom: Well, it looks like there's something wrong with it....it's not right.

Ha! Your mama is funny... I remember showing my mother a card beeming with pride. She took it, looked at it & said, "Hmmm... it looks... really handmade." :-| Thanks ma.
Your card is super fun! I love the ribbon at the bottom... that's one style I wish I had in my stash (scalloped trim). You rocked that line! :-)
