It has really been one of those days! Of course, these days happen often with a large family, but this one leaves me with a serious need for chocolate! Lucky me…my aunt went to the British Shoppe and bought me my favorite for my birthday. I just love the Cadbury’s Flake and they are now only made in the UK. I’ve been safely hiding it away until now, yumm… Back to my day….cranky baby and then the power went out all day. And I mean ALL day. No computer, no laundry, no nothing….not even any water as we’re on a well! Not pretty. Add to that a deadline I’ve worked really hard on and no way to submit! I tell you, my nerves were on end. I’m happy to say that finally the power has come back on and my keyboard (that also glitched today) is now fixed, so here I am! Suffice it to say, I didn’t have time to make a card to share with you today but I did come across this one that I somehow forgot to upload. Thanks for stopping by! And many thanks for all the birthday wishes! If you are still waiting to hear from me, I’m sorry! I couldn’t get back to you today & I’m exhausted tonight. Tomorrow morning my 4 year has an EKG and my mom starts her third round of chemo. Please bear with me, I’ll get back to you as soon as I can!
I made this card with some lovely images someone was kind enough to share with me. I decided to go with a distressed vintage look for this card. The background was stamped with SU’s Linen background stamp and then the edges inked directly with the ink pad. I pulled the checkerboard look from the image and made a little block panel down the left side. I thought the red polka dot ribbon went well with the color scheme and added a little fun to the design.
