Hushed purple

Hello all!

Thanks for your comments yesterday - they really keep a blogger going, which, as fellow bloggers, I'm sure you all know. ;)

To answer a few questions; I was in a homeschooling tournament down around Philadelphia, and yes, I do play sports. Sometimes my crafting and playing volleyball (my favorite sport) conflict, which is why I can get way off schedule in blogging.

And my next tournament is May 3rd. Pretty exciting for me. :)

Anyways, here is the card for today, using one of this months SSC Card challenge, which you can view HERE. 

I loved my Digi Thinking card so much, I wanted to replicate it with THIS beautiful free digi paper from Vinnie Pearce. I'm usually not a big fan of purple, but when I saw the kit ...{sigh}. And happily, I had some purple ribbon that I had been saving for something like this. 

Oh, in case you wondering, the ruffled edge is tissue - a clean tissue. I needed something soft and flowy, and well, tissues kinda fit the description, plus I didn't have any white ribbon. You just gotta work with what you have. ;)

Thanks for stopping in!
