Here's how it inspired me:


I used one of my FAVORITE

CAS-ual Fridays sets



It seriously cracks me up every single time I ink it up.  What's even more funny?  I don't swear...seriously.  Okay, perhaps when I drive and play video games...LOL.

That polka panel?  

vintage Amy Butler.  

I wish she would design for the paper crafting industry again!  Her sense of color and pattern is truly amazing.

I simply stamped the sentiment on a journaling card die cut and attached the Jolee's felt bloom...it's almost a peace offering for forgetting someone's birthday!

I can't wait to see how you're inspired!

Awesome Amy, love the stitched journaling card and that fab felt flower!
Kelly Griglione said…
Awesome choice of background paper, Amy!! It totally "goes" with your card, and I think I've finally figured out why ... the round felt flower on the gray panel is like zooming in on a single dot on your patterned paper. I'm not sure if that makes any sense, but it does in my head, hahaha! I fell in love the first moment I saw this beauty : )
Rose said…
Gorgeous card, Amy! The acronym made me chuckle :)
