Meeting the challenge!

I want to share a pretty card with you.  But first I want to tell you that I have room in my Designer Series Paper Share.  Just scroll down to locate the information and the signup button.  You get all of the new papers (total of 120 pieces, each 6" x 6") for just $24.  But you need to act quickly.  This sampler gives you large enough pieces to use some for cards and still have enough left for a sampler.  This is a great deal for both customers and other demonstrators.

Now for today's post:

I belong to a demonstrator web group, SUDSOL, where I get an incredible amount of inspiration and support.  And sometimes I even give support and inspiration to other members.  Tonight I responded to a challenge.  The title is Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed, Something Blue.  Sounds like a subject appropriate for June, doesn't it?  Well, the trick was to create a sample using something old (the little "for you" sentiment is from a set that isn't brand new; it's called All Holidays), something new (the flower spray is from a new Hostess set called Echoes of Kindness, the border was punched with the brand new Eyelet Border punch, and the dotted embossed background was done using the Big Shot and the new Texturz plate set Stampin' Up! Backgrounds 1.  For something borrowed, I was inspired by a card created by another demonstrator, Denise Jorgensen.  And the something blue is pretty obvious.  It was fun, and it was a bit of a challenge as well.  And here it is:

I hope you like it!

Great Card Judi!

Thank you Judi for the great idea on the ornament punch. That should help us all upsell the item if our customers realize they can use it all year long to create beautiful cards. Thank you very much for sharing the beautiful card.

Blessings and Hug,
