Sabrina Hambly

Happy Monday!

Okay, so I wasn't going to play in the Raspberry Suite Challenge #11 because I just couldn't get it to work for me. Evidently, the more something frustrates me the more I want to "win". Winning in this situation is completing a card that I'm happy with...I ended up liking the end result AND having fun, isn't that what it is all about...having fun??!!

I just adore that glittery paper by Making Memories. It is from their Sabrina line. I teamed it up with the most fabulous Hambly Mini bicycles paper. The leaves are SU Green Galore and you can also see a smidge of SU Basic Gray. I'm down to about 6 inches of my beloved black pom pom trim...sigh.

The Card Patterns #22 was perfect for the design. I have to say that I'm always pretty pleased when I can combine challenges...I'm really not very good at it and I'm always impressed when I see some of these gals multi-tasking in a huge fashion.

I hope that everyone has a fantabulous week!
