Heya!

Got a card today that doesn't involve any Nesties - a tool I have used, oh...about the last million cards? ;)

So, just to get my mojo back on track, here it is...

  

I like it WAY better in real life than in the picture. Usually the picture is almost spot on. These ones...not so much. Oh well.

You can see I won the award "For Most Adhesive Pearls on a Card (not counting bling trails)" award. Yep, I stuck those each on individually, and geez, did it take forever!

So, this card was an attempt at successfully putting together three different kinds of patterned paper, lots of embellies and still look nice. Did I succeed? I don't think so...besides, I didn't even have that many embellishments - I chickened out at the last second. ;)  {Sigh} some people have that talent and some people don't...guess which category I'm putting myself in. ;)

 I was inspired by these challenges to make this card...Paper Sundaes, Embellish Magazine (I hope the colors are dominant enough ;)), Sketchy Thursday, Dutch Dare, Cute Card Thursday, The Pixie Cottage, Quixotic Challenge, and The Pink Elephant.

 Speaking of inspiration...would any of you mind poppin' on over to Jill's blog (Inspired by...) and leaving a comment? She's featuring little ol' me this week - you can see my cards, and then you can see Jill's fabulous take on them. So, share the love and leave a comment for her. :)

Anyways, thanks for stoppin' by today...and for putting up with all my italics! ;)
