My First Card Challenge

To kick off my fun doing card challenges, I've decided to enter a card that I made for my dear sister-in-law, Renee.  

The card was made using Papertrey Ink card stock (yum! love that stuff), Tim Holtz stamps and distress inks, Inkadinkadoo stamp, Colorbox ink, eyelets and black ribbon from my stash.  





I'll be entering this card in the following challenges:

  1. Roberta, Saw this on The Outlawz site and had to come for a closer look. It's magnificent. Incredible work on the background! I really had to search around to find a way to become a follower but I found it at the very bottom of your blog! OK, I'm following by e-mail now. Might I also suggest that you turn off the Word Verification feature and just use Comment Moderation? I think you'll get a lot more comments if you do. :-D

    1. Thanks so much for the suggestions. I've turned off the verification feature....didn't even know to look for that. And I'll play with the lay out to make following be a bit easier.

      PS: I just started following your blog as well. Look forward to seeing more of your beautiful creations!
