I think I'm ready....

I think I'm finally ready for my first card submission to a magazine.... I've done this card over and over about 4 or 5 times!  I finally did one that I am 100% pleased with!  You know that feeling... you look at it and then you see it...that smudge!  Re-do it, all done....check it out again....oh no!  The marker bled... gosh can't a girl get a break?  Okay, so use prismacolor pencils then... aaaahhhh, no smudges, no marker bleeds, no outside the lines, everything seems to look perfect.  So, what's wrong with it?  What am I missing?  There has to be something wrong with it!  No card is EVER perfect.  My momma told me so!  "Nothing homemade is ever perfect" is what she always told me.  So, I've always looked for that flaw in everything I do and then re-do it! Again, and again, and again... you know what I am talkin' about...

Anyway, back to the beginning.  Here is my card, I used my newest PTI stamp sets Friendship Jar and Friendship Jar Fall Fillers, TAC cardstock, Martha Stewart edge punch, Prismacolor Pencils, ribbon that I had on hand and Stampin' Up Artichoke ink.  I hope you like it as much as I do.

Have a great weekend and a great upcoming week.

Hugs all around... B
