I was inspired by Crafting With Cristina for this next card. Her card is insanely cute and so much better than this card. I'm not thrilled with this at all. I just noticed that my ribbon ends are frayed... grrr! I need go back and fix that up.
Standard card. The patterned paper is old KI Memories (KI Memories, the old stuff, is absolutely some of my favorite paper EVER, no one does stripes like they do. LOVE it!). The scalloped squares are from Accent Essentials. The flowers were cut from Forever Young, all scraps. Does anyone else get a thrill from using up scraps? :) The stamps were Michael's dollar bin from a few years back.
Thanks for taking a look. I've got a few things to post up tomorrow and a lot of ideas.
Cheers,

Forever Young Project
So let me share a little something with you... When I first see a new Cricut cartridge, almost always, I *have* to have it. Than I think about it and wonder how much will I really use it, do I *really* need it, etc, etc. I usually talk myself out of getting it. Than.... it somehow ends up in my stash ;)
That's how I felt about Forever Young. When I first saw the previews I thought how adorable, gotta get it. Than I thought, eh... not sure I'll use it that much. Well than after seeing so many cute projects being done with it (the Cricut msg. board is enabler central, gah!) I put it on my maybe list. One late night cruising ebay... she found her way to my house (and for under $20 bucks, score!).
I did some practice cuts when I first got it, used a couple phrases on scrapbook pages than came up with this idea.....
My office/crafty space is done in pink/white/red. I have had these 6x6 frames for a few years I think. They came from the good ol' Target dollar spot and I bought a bunch of them. Well one day I saw them in my craft closet and came up with this idea. Right by my craft desk I have a little wall space that these 3 pictures will hang on vertically. I just think they are too cute. All of it was made going through my scraps, except the mats and you can barely see them in this picture, but they are red and pink under the white.
Thanks for taking a look!
Cheers

ps-- forgive the boring blog look. I'm trying to spruce it up... so it will definitely be changing.
