Miss you

Hello again!

I want to share a quick post with you tonight.
Fusion Card Challenge...
All I could think of were ribbons...or cutting up my husbands tie!

I used an assortment of ribbons: the top pink and white ribbon is from The Ribbon Reel, the other ribbons are from Michaels. The dies are Spellbinders. The cardstock and sentiment stamp are Papertrey Ink. I scattered some gems from Recollections.


Wow, how bad is the lighting for my cards!!? Too much pink in the background! I don't know how to adjust that. I was playing around with the exposure, tint, temperature and blah, blah, blah!!! I still need alot of practice.

Anyway, thanks for peeking!
