Two weeks in a row doing my favorite challenge, yay!!! Wouldn't Mary Engelbreit be proud of me for this card? I love her and this card, which absolutely gave me FITS, reminds me of her. Here was my inspiration piece:
I have a heap of hot mess up in my stamp room, as I was really going in a totally different direction with this. My first card had the green stripes too, but it was so ugly I wouldn't download it. This is the little outfit that truly inspired me, but wow, was my first attempt awful, and then I left the stripes off altogether on my second attempt. You win some, you lose some. I am pooped. BTW, this is a BRAND new stamp set from SU, available in May, and it has OTHER images that ALSO remind me of ME!!! (Not ME, Mary!) Happy Saturday everyone. That certainly is a fun website!!

From one ME fan to another, this is just perfect!!! Love absolutely everything about it, so of course, with all that love in the air, it just jumped into my faves...
I liked your inspiration dress too! I make that kind of dresses for my granddaughters.

Such a pretty card, Karen. I think you were right in removing the stripes -- this is perfect just the way it is. I like that you carried the polka-dots inside.
PS -- when I originally saw that cute little outfit last night, the first thing that popped into my mind was Halloween (with the orange and black colors). I'm glad you saw something different!

There must be a million ME fans! I am one too! And yes, I can certainly see ME in this! What a wonderful eye catching card! I can't really imagine YOU messing up a card and having it be not uploadable! Yah, right! But, what you ended up here with is da bomb! Beautiful!
