Just Deal With It!

I made this card today because it reflects well on the week I've been having so far! LOL Ever have those days where nothing seems to be going right?! Well, that's been ME all week!!! But..I won't bore you with all the details.
I just decided today, I'm gonna put on my Big Girl Panties and Deal with It! What other choice do have anyway!? LOL

I wasn't even happy with my coloring and almost chunked this card, but then I thought to myself, "You are not perfect, the image and card will be fine." So...here she is:

Card Details: Digi Image-Mo's Digital Pencil, Sentiment-Create with TLC, Patterned Paper-Echo Park "Country Drive" collection, Ribbon-RibbonFX, Punches-EK Success

Even now, as I post this card..I'm thinking, should I add something else..bling, brads, flowers??? Ugh!

Thank You!

My thoughts for this card were...keep it or chunk it?! I didn't do this image justice. It is such a beautiful image, and I had such high hopes for this card. I'm just so unhappy with it..I think I need to move the sentiment...I need to place it somewhere else, I even put it on the side of the image, but it looked funny there too.
Maybe a different shape?
Oh well...for now, I'll just keep it on my desk. Any suggestions would really help! :)

Made with Love in the USA!

I thought I'd title today's post this way to go with my two Challenge Cards! Yes...I completed 2 cards today!

The first is for Mo's Challenge #83--Distressing. I printed this image out a long time ago, and just hadn't gotten up to using it, until today that is!!!! I distressed the edges of my papers and added distress ink by Ranger.

Card Details: Digi Image--Mo's Digital Pencil, Patterned Paper-The Paper Studio, Border Punch-Martha Stewart, Tag-Avery, Misc. "Bakers Twine"--I don't own any, so I made my own. I had a spool of twine and used a pink marker to make the lines. Button and Machine Stitching, Pink Flower was from a package I received from Tiffany Ervin's blog candy.

The other card I made is for two challenges: 1. Sassy Cheryl's Challenge #65-Let's Get Patriotic!

and 2. Simon Says Challenge-Stars and Stripes

I didn't actually have a "Patriotic" image by Sassy Cheryl's, so I modified my image by printing out a flag I googled and cut it out and pasted it over the flower image.

Here is the original image:

and here's the modified image:

Card Details: Digi Image-Sassy Cheryl's, Patterned Paper-The Paper Studio, Circles-Spellbinders, USA Flag is clipart that was colored, cut and added to the image.

Happy Mother's Day!

Most of you will be celebrating Mother's Day today. So I have preblogged this. I'm hoping I will be able to sleep late and relax today! It's been a really busy week with my daughter's Prom on Saturday night.

This is the card I made for her:
