I started out to make the TLC169 this morning. I just couldn't make it work. I scored in all the wrong places, Finally I decided I would make my DS his birthday card and decided to use the Alphabet Limited Supply challenge #168. I like how it turned out. My DS appreciates my cards, at least he acts like he does. I am going to use this Artful Legacy stamp on the back. I think it is funny and sort of true too. (it says, ''It took several hours to make this card....Act Impressed.) Let's see, I used Crystal Effects on the letters. The ''H'' has a ladies hat at the top so I didn't put ink on that part and used the little dog from one of the other letters inthis Penny Black set.

Hee! Hee! I had problems, too, Kay. My folds all line up, but it won't stand up by itself, and here I thought there was a project (besides a card) that I might actually be able to do! I'm glad you persevered. Love the glaze on the letters and the eyelets, and, YES, I love that sentiment!
