Hi there!
Today, while looking at Pam Sparks' beautiful creation, she mentioned the challenge at Tilda's Town. It's been a while since I had time to join in a challenge. I was excited to use my one and only Magnolia stamp, when I noticed that challenge #13 was "Shabby Chic". EEKS!!! Sorry, but I so, so, SO suck at Shabby Chic! Hmmm....decided to do it anyway - no laughter allowed... (am also going to enter this in the Greetings Challenge at the Outlawz, which is 'Anything Goes').

I'm still on the fence here - not sure that I like this, but it's got some shabby and it's got some chic, so it's being linked up. Worth a shot, right? Lol...probably a D- but anything above an F is passing, right?
On a serious note, there are three families out there dealing with some incredible losses this week.
Three more fellow service people of our son-in-law's were killed this week.
Please keep these service people, and their families in your thoughts, and prayers.
Hugs & blessings,
Patti J.

Absolutely beautiful!
I beg to differ with you, Patti - it's a lovely card and a complete success in the shabby chic department. Nice work!
Patti, this is a beautiful card. You may think you suck at shabby chic, but I think you rock.
Prayers for your son in law and his fellow service people's families. They must be heartbbroken.
Your card is so pretty. I think you hit the nail on the head with your pretty shabby chic design. Love it!

Precious and love your shabby chic - I can't think of anything that you "suck" at. Love this stamp and your creation.
Patti, that shabby chic card is exactly what it is- shabby chic!!! And, if you don't like it, you can only improve from here! I personally love it, the distressed paper, bling, and the seam binding, all make your card awesomely shabby and totally chic. :)
HI Patty, it's so sad to hear of the tragedies among our service men & women...will say a pray on their behalf!
I LOVE your shabby chic card! There aren't any rules, I see shabby & I see chic, you get an A for this one! love the little sweetie against the distress wood paper! Beautiful!!
