Got to use some new stuff on this card--which is card number 13 in the Your Hired Series (100% Stampin Up!). The background is done with the new exclusive texture plates, the new border punch and the circle is cut from the new Circle Scissors Plus. Love this cutter, so easy to use. (

Here is my card for today's challenge....

Paper: Kiwi Kiss, Rose Red, Real Red, Cameo Coral, Pretty in Pink and Raspberry Tart dp
Ink: Basic Black
Other: markers, circle scissors plus, large scallop circle die, eyelet border punch, embossing plate, ribbon,

    Mary Jo - Congratulations to you and your husband and HB to your DS. I thought that those large patterned dp's looked hard to work with but once again you make it look easy.
