IS IT FRIDAY YET???

Hi guys,

Are you as ready for the weekend as I am?  This has been a looong week for us.  It seems like we have had somewhere to be every night this week.  To top it off, I had to go to a meeting at my daughters school to get her PSAT score.  She did very well, but the wealth of information that one must possess on college prep is mind blowing.  Gone are the days of waiting until you are a junior to decide where you want to go.  We are being told to start next year (She will be a freshman.)  EEKS!  Who new you have to start preparing in 9th grade. 

Well, now that I am done ranting...sorry...Here is a card that made today.


I used brown cardstock for the base.  Pink cardstock for the top layer.  I distressed the edges with Tim Holz Tea Dye Ink.  The stamps are from a Stampology set that I picked up at Michaels.  I just thought that they were too cute.  I used my Fiskars 2" scallop punch, cut circles from PS on the Cricut and then stamped my image.  I wanted some ribbon on here, but everything I tried looked so plain.  I finally decided to loop some pink cording around the brown zig-zag.  I'm not sure if that works or not here.  I do love the sentiments on the stamps though.  I pop dotted the first and last sentiments just for something different.



I thought that the inside needed something too...so I just used a pink scrap.  I rounded the edges, distressed with the same ink and put the buttons on.  I found a stamp from a different Stampology set that worked perfectly with the ones on the front.  It really jazzed up the inside of the card.  I usually don't put anything on the inside of my cards, but I am trying to think outside of the box.

What do ya'll think?  As always, thanks for looking.  I love hearing from you, comments are always welcome.  Have a great afternoon and remember that tomorrow is FRIDAY!  Whoo-Hoo...
