Hi everyone! Hope you're having a great Tuesday... We're just battling colds in the Pulvirenti household, but otherwise, all is well. LOL, I should say my daughter and I are battling colds, my hubby is always the lucky one who manages to stay healthy. Ah well, I'll take some sniffles and nasty headaches if it means I get more hugs and kisses from my sweet girl! :)
Today's card was created for this week's Jacksonbelle Embellishments Challenge. Our challenge? To create a card using buttons, brads or bows! LOL, sooooooo, now that I typed that, I've come to realize I don't have a brad, button OR bow on this! ACK! *smacks forehead* I originally started out thinking I'd make a card and add a bow using the sheer yellow organza ribbon from May Arts, but ended up adding a fun ruffle instead. So we'll just say I streeeeeeetched the bow idea, eh? *wink*
