You Would!

I'm sad that I could not get this to photograph well.  I don't feel the true colors and details of this card are perfectly represented and it's a shame because these colors represent me to a "T".  My husband and I have a running joke that anytime I see something that I absolutely love, my husband knows me so well and will say "You Would!".  It's been a rough weekend dealing with his cancer and I have to remember and keep hold of those fun moments with him.  We will get back to those times, but for now it SUCKS!  Anyway, I digress...this card was made for a couple challenges Cardz TV Stamps  "It's SO You" and Little Scrap Pieces "Fun Friday Birthday Challenge".  So not only do I love this color scheme of pinks and browns, I LOVE presents!  So this card is definitely "SO" me.  I found the layout in the Mojo Monday archieves (seriously am obsessed with these layouts).  The present is cut from Celebrations, the scallop cloud is from Once Upon a Princess, and I used Swiss Dots embossing folder for the mats.  The patterned paper is from My Mind's Eye Blush 6x6 pack.  I also inked around the edge of the base mat with ColorBox Dark Brown Chalk Ink.  I really am in love with this card and will never give it to anyone - I'll keep it for myself - as I do with many of my cards :)
