Thank You for ... the Willow Tree?

Happy Tuesday, Crafty Stampers!

Today's card project was created for a recent "May Arts" ribbon contest ... which I promptly lost ... so I thought I'd share it with you today.

Here's a look at my losing entry:

The card was created with an eons-old primitive-style tree stamp, a retired SU sentiment stamp, buttons, embroidery floss, an embossed background, a metal frame hanger, and some beautiful ribbon.

For the rest of the heart-pounding product info, check out the Card Recipe, below.

Soooooooo, yesterday I was hangin' out with Sheila when Ken, her poor, unsuspecting DH, wandered into the kitchen.

"So, Ken," Sheila says to her DH, "That young couple that just moved in across the street seem like such a lovey-dovey twosome. Every morning, when he leaves the house, he kisses her goodbye, and every evening when he comes homes, he brings her a bouquet of flowers. Now, why can't you do that?"

So Ken replies, "Why? I hardly know the girl."

Thanks so much for spending part of your busy day with me!

~Hugs,
