Happy Wednesday! Man, am I ready for the weekend or what? lol! I came home from work Tuesday very tired and grouchy! My ADD makes it very hard for me to sit in trainings all day, plus it's like 10 degrees below zero with the air-conditioning, and I'm freezing to death! I think I'm going to suggest we do some make and takes...I need to do something with my hands and be creative! lol! Okay, enough whining...sorry!I made this card Sunday night for the Featured Stamper #80 challenge over at Splitcoast. This week the featured stamper is the super sweet and talented Jessica Rone. I chose this card of hers to copy, and I changed the colors and the stamp set. I also did not add that cute row of brads around the bottom...I tried, but the *cheapness* in me just wouldn't let me do it! I kept imagining them at the bottom of someone's trash can! I was already taking deep breaths using this much cardstock! Girlfriend is not stingy with her layers! lol! They look beautiful, though, and whoever gets this card will know they are very well loved by me! *wink*
A few details...the finished size is 4" x 9". Don't you love these colors together? I wanted to use my new hostess collection Print Patterns paper, so I looked at my SU color wheel and pulled this color combo out: Not Quite Navy, Always Artichoke, and Bashful Blue (it also listed Close to Cocoa which I didn't get worked in there.) That color wheel comes in handy sometimes! Also, I wanted to glue the beads on the Eastern Blooms flowers like we did on this Convention make and take, but I didn't have any beads, so I used the Bashful Blue brads instead.
Hope everyone is okay out there with these crazy storms, let us know how you're doing in your part of the country! Thanks for stopping by!
Have you stamped something today?

Angie, lovin' your card...I chuckled about your comment about your *cheapness*...hmmm...I call it hoarding :) It isn't *cheapness* look at all those layers of cs!!! Dang, I'm going to suggest make and takes at work too! LOL...have a super day!
Wow, what a stunning CASE, Angie! I love the color combination and that awesome new ribbon!
Great card, school starts here today, but being the parent I am excited about that, I feel for the teachers though. Have a great school year and know that the parents are thankful for you:).
Love those colors together - I ordered the Maine Blueberry DP which uses similar colors. I can't wait to play!!
Ha--you just gave me a great idea and that is that I should surprise some of my former coworkers with a make and take at work this afternoon! I wonder if I could get it together that quickly :-) I absolutely love this color combo and the card overall--beautifully done!
so pretty! I can't wait to get my order...this set was first on my list! I am sooo glad I am not the only hoarder out there...I struggle to use hardware when more than 3 are going on a card! :)
...My mom laughs at me that one of the big things on our back to school list is jackets when it's 100 degrees here...but the kids freeze in school if they don't have one!! :)
ooh - your card is awesome! go to Hobby Lobby & get brads for 1/2 price *well not the colored ones* I am getting Eastern Blooms because of you but no DP yet (figure I should use what I have first) boohoo.
Yes this is just a pure lil beauty you have here .. love it .. I so need to step up my card game .. haha
Beautiful card Angie!! I just LOVE the colors and this stamp set! I know the feeling about using that many brads...I can't seem to do it either! LOL
This is beautiful and because I live basically where you do, the weather is the same. I'm ok, Fe Fe is very unhappy. She hides, trembles and barks at the thunder. Bless her heart, I don't think the Mother Nature is moved by my chihuahua snarling at the window. HA!
Wow! This is stunning! Just beautiful! I love the brad accents!
It's beautiful Angie - you did Jessie proud with all those layers - LOL! Not cheapness, just hoarding - we ALL do it!!! Hah! Make 'n Takes at work - I think you are on to something!!! *STAMPIN HUGS* Alex

Angie, this card is great. I love the color combo and everything about it!
love this color combo (I think Kristin Moore just did the same one on her blog post today) guess it is a sign I really need to try it. I love the brads on those flowers just the right addition. I did stamp something today, go seee! and I'm off to squeeze another one or two in. going to try that Top Note on a card.
Gorgeous! I love that wide ribbon with it.
Oh how sweet!!! I love the colors and that stamp. The brads are just right!
