Good morning! First I want to say how excited I was to be included in  Kara: KandRDesigns
Friday Inspiration File # 76…with this card That just made my day! Thanks again Kara. Then I found out the same card won V.I.P  for CAS-usa Fridays  needless to say I was so happy. Thanks to all who left such kind comments and congratulated me. It was so  kind of you to send me emails and go back to comment. It means a lot. 
This weeks challenge was to use strips of color. I used a ribbon I got from William Sonoma. ( Even if I don't get something wrapped  I always ask for some of the ribbon. It was a big purchase, but I even do it on small ones) Then added some  tape from target .  I used Vintage Cream cardstock… many times because I don't specify  people think its white. Then added a pink button.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Stamps and Die are from Papertrey Ink Lovely Layers and  Signature Series Dress Form Stamp Set
Paper: Papertrey Ink Vintage Cream and Enchanted Evening

  4. This is just gorgeous. I love how you made that embellishment with lovely layers. Super smart to get ribbon from William Sonoma. I'm going to do that next time. I have gotten great ribbon at Chico before. Congratulations on your two shout outs last week. I'm sorry that I missed them. You are getting what you deserve, and I am so happy for you.
