Easy


Hello and a wonderful Monday. I just got up because i hared the school bus waiting outside for my son.. i was like hu! what is going on.. it is Easter Monday :-) iam telling you 7 years in the USA and iam still not familiar with everything.

My card for today was a disaster.. i really must say i was so happy once it was done. Besides that i had not much time this past week with the kids home to craft - nothing went smoothly by making the card. It started out that i wanted to make a card which was simple and easy to mass produce. I think the layout is good for that .. the punched border looks "fancy" but does not cost much to recreate on a bunch of cards. Than i colored my image in and i simply was not happy with it. I than struggled with the ribbon - and than i just wanted to add 3 little Robins Nest glass beads and they left pink residue on my white paper :-( so i had to play with other embellishments to cover that up. I hate when things like this happen.
Stamp: Tilda with rose from the Pink Collection is available at Magnolia-licous
Papers: Stampin up and Bittersweet Basic Grey all scraps
Embellishments: Robins Nest, Prima Marketing, Nestabilities, Martha Stewart "Fond", "Doily Lace" punch, Martha Stewart red glitter around the focal point to create a border, Satin ribbon Michaels
This card is created for this weeks challenge over on Stamp with fun! i hope you can join in.. we have all used Pinks and Browns for our cards this week!

I'm sorry you had a hard time with this card but it's nice for us to know things go wrong for you too because your cards are always so well finished.
So why was the bus there on Easter Monday? Have the kids gone back already?
