I think I have gone stark raving mad....here it is 1am, and I am up downloading a card to a challenge and I have to get up at 5:30 am to head to work!! This is inSANE. What has gotten into me?? Somebody please HELP ME.....I have become a challenge stalker. I am so ashamed. Anyway- my banana on this card looks sorta like someone hit you over the head with a big banana....but at 1:00 am I am not startin over and after all this crazy effort I am downloading!!! Hope you like it!! (I think Betty's beautiful card put me in the mood for herbs!!)

Karen, it is okay - just breathe!!! You are a member of a really large cult and there is no going back. Now, the important stuff - gorgeous card! Love the ribbon/bow - it's luscious!

Wonderful card! Karen, you're too funny! I'm also guilty of stalking. I was starting to get sleepy and was going to head for bed and then I saw the challenge and got an idea and finally made it to be around 3:45 AM. Late night (or maybe I should say very early) stamping; there's nothing like it! I keep pledging to myself that I won't check the challenges before betime and I keep breaking my promise!
