Yay - it's the weekend!
I live for the weekends - time with the family....time making cards....time not at the office....{sigh}
Alright - so I'm all about the keep it real which means I ain't too proud to share this fiasco of a card with y'all. So here's the thing - you ever get a paper collection that you really love? And you love it so much that you get all the additions: the ribbon, the buttons, the letters, the chipboard, etc.? That's what happened here - and that's not a bad thing. What is however a bad thing is wanting to use EVERYTHING on a card together - LOL Which is what I did here. It's just too much. If this were American Idol they would have told me that I oversang the card...and that it's all over the place - haaaaaaa! So yeah - my apologies to the fine folks over at American Crafts for destroying their song, I mean their Dear Lizzy collection. But isn't that rose ribbon dope, y'all? Yeah - I watch too much American Idol *giggles*
Alright, so moving right along from bad card. Here's a good thing: Practicing Creativity Designs. Miss Courtney is putting out her own line of stamps - this is her third release and it's got a really cute hot air balloon theme to it - but she's also selling RIBBON! Woooooooooo - ribbon!! I ordered some last night. Go on and check out her site and get you some stamps...or some ribbon....or both!
Have a super Saturday!

Oh my goodness you are way to hard on yourself. You had me thinking this was gonna be some lopsided googly monstrosity of a card! Lol... it's quite nice actually! :) But I do know how you feel about grabbing all the paper/product b/c of how pretty it is, and then just staring at it forever. Lol! Happens to me often.
Enjoy your weekend!
Your post today has me cracking up! Love that you oversang your card. That rose ribbon is really cool. If you're still in this competition next week, I look forward to seeing how you make it your own, while staying true to the original, too! LOL!
You make me laugh! I do love ALL the elements. I have a scrapbook page like this. I just kept piling things on there.
WOW!!! That rose ribbon is GORGEOUS!!! I actually really like the card! I guess if I were to leave anything off, maybe the banner ribbon? Rebecca's comment is totally cracking me up LOL!
All the elements in this card are so adorable, esp. those chipboard dresses.
Love the American Idol analogies.
LOL...you crack me up! I love that ribbon, it is super cool!! Ribbon is something I don't have a whole lot of...well I do but nothing fancy, kwim? As long as I can tie a bow or knot, I'm good! ha!
Enjoy the weekend! Mine only REALLY started tonight...working Saturday really sucks!
I love your card! Super with all of the emeblishments.
You are a bit hard on your self, it's cute- and I adore that fun pink ribbon!
