Just add something new is the requirement to this challenge over at Just Add Ink.  So, that wasn’t difficult right?   I just stumbled upon this blog the other day and was anxious to play along for the first time!  The first new item on my card is the embossing folder I have on the pink cardstock,  it’s called Juli’s Garden and is made by Provo Craft.   It’s so much fun breaking in a new toy for the first time!  Wouldn’t you agree?

The other challenge this card is for is over at Stamp TV and they are using a Tic Tac Toe board and you have to make your selections based on the game we all played as kids.  My choice was Rhinestones, Ribbons, and Pearls.  I think you can find the black rhinestones, and the ribbon, however seeing the pearls might be difficult.  They are coming out of my flowers in the corner.  I bought them at Michael’s in the wedding isle and thought they might be fun to add to a card some day!  So they are my  second ” new”  item that I have never used before!!

The Diamond background stamp and the i love u sentiment is from Gina K over at Stamp TV.  The background stamp script is from Stampibilities and I bought it at a Stamp Expo.  The flower stamp is from Verve and the leaves were made with my cuttlebug and embossed.  Add some ribbon and some accessories and there you have it!

I so appreciate you stopping by and making comments, it just makes me realize what I am doing here does matter and that’s what I need to be reminded of some days!  Thanks so much!
