Today's card was made from the Crafter's Companion oval accordion dies.
Boy, have you ever started a card and everything seems to go wrong? Well, that's what happened with this card and I almost scrapped it and said forget it. Finally I just walked away and slept on it and came back to it the next day and finally got it done. I hate days like that 'cause it takes the fun out of making cards. It's a good thing my love for making cards is greater than my frustrations.


Needless to say this was a bit of a difficult one to put together. I can't tell you how many pieces of paper I went through before I was happy with it. From paper warping and stress fractures to not aligning right, to sticking where it wasn't suppose to, to ripping. OMG! But, there she is!

                      

I didn't have any letter dies this big so I computer generated and fussy cut them.




That's it for today, hope you enjoyed stoppin' by!
Thanks to the challengers above for lettin' me play along.
Blessings!
