TWO weeks in a row I used this same stamp setÂ…..but it's because i love it so much!! I made another shabby chic card, so I may upload that one as well. If I do you can tell me which one you like better. I love this style. The QUEEN of this style is my daughter in law Jenna Barber. She has been very busy working full time and taking care of her sweet girls so hasn't done as much stamping, but when she does, she OWNS this style. It just comes natural to her. I have to work a little harder at it then just doing a nice jewel toned card with bolder colors, but I am always happy with the shabby chic outcome when I am done. Big old UTI last week, big old TOOTHACHE this week. Gonna go to bed without doing comments tonite- will return tomorrow for commentingÂ….I am nursing a HUGE toothache - and have an appt for the dreaded ROOT CANAL on Thursday. My mom is in the hospital and we spent the better part of the weekend in ER with her, with pneumonia. I could go on, but I will spare you. Everybody has troubles. I'll just thank God they aren't bigger. ;)Life is fun. The first hundred years are the hardest. Happy Tuesday everyone!

You are hilarious Karen!! You have such a great spirit. I will miss you too. I am sorry that you have been having all this crummy things happen to you. I hope you have gone through the worst of it. Your card is so pretty!! I love how you have distressed it. Your bow of course, really takes the cake. I always remember Jenna being so awesome at the shabby chic style. I hope she is doing well.

This is just to very shabby chic - and incredibly pretty combination of the challenge colours. I hope to be able to get to making something for this challenge - I too have spent hours in Emergency with my 90 year old Mum after a fall this week. Last thing I thought of was crafting.

Gorgeous shabby chic look! I love the rough edges and that fabulous bow! Sorry to hear about your mom and I hope the root canal goes as well and as painlessly as possible!

Gorgeous! Your card is so pretty - I'm surprised you were able to created with your Mom so sick, a tooth ache and pending root canal. I have to say, I've had two root canals and neither was painful - just an awful lot of tension-filled time in the chair expecting pain. That's why I know worrying works, because everything I worry about never happens.
