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.

ReplyDeletePatti, 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. :)
