Good evening/morning! Hope your Friday was great! I left the house (shocker!) and spent the day with my fabulous teacher friends shopping and dining in historic downtown Waxahachie. I'm afraid my schedule is a little off, if you could call what I had a schedule, I'm not sure actually! lol!Anyway, after a nap from 8:00 to 11:30 pm and then catching up on Google Reader, I pulled out some more retiring sets to play with. For this first simple card I used Polka Dots and Paisley and made myself use a non-normal color for me, in this case, Almost Amethyst. Am I the only one who falls into the trap of using my favorite colors over and over?!
That glittery Pretties kit flower has been laying rejected on my desk for several months now, and even though it was colored in with Pale Plum and Aquapainters, the color worked okay, probably because it was covered in glitter! I do like the way my little "ticket" turned out. Have you noticed these "tickets" all over the place lately?! I rolled the Confetti White cardstock with the My ABCs wheel and then used the Ticket Corner Punch on it. I may experiment with some more designs tomorrow! I mean today! hee! hee!
For this card I used the Be Happy stamp set, trying to stick with similar colors: Pretty In Pink, Almost Amethyst and Basic Gray. The chipboard flower is from On Board Blossoms & Basics, and that Almost Amethyst ribbon is from the Fairy Tale Ribbon Originals.If you have any questions let me know, and I can post the recipes later if anybody wants them. I better get to bed now...if dh catches me up this late, I'm going to be in big trouble! lol! Thanks for stopping by! Have you stamped something today?

The ticket was the first thing I noticed on your card. It is fabulous! I want to make some now, but I'm too tired from the Festival to move off of my chair. LOL!
