I have a new love … Paper Smooches! My blog friend Kim is such a BAD EXAMPLE … and is always tempting me to buy more STUFF! I just had to get some of the cute products … and I have a wish list for more! This sentiment on this card is from a PS stamp set called “Pretty Phrases”! Isn’t it divine!
This is such a typical ‘Andrea’ card. I have decided that I do have a tendency to use a little bit of bling … oh … ok … perhaps I use A LOT of bling!!! 😉 I have a very ‘girly’ style! 😀 I do love love love other styles like vintage chic and stamp layering and lots of others … but I just can’t seem to do them very well! I can’t help myself … I often look at a finished card … and just HAVE TO add some bling!

The ribbon flower was inspired by a pin I found recently … when I went looking for some new ideas for using ribbons! So sweet!
