With this card, I think I got as far from elegant as could be and still be presentable. I'm coming to the a-cardemy awards in my blue jeans. At least they are clean jeans and I even stuck a flower on my pocket to make it look better. I made the flower out of newspapers using the sewn flower technique. I made the jeans using faux denim technique on newspaper. I added a levi tag made of red cardstock and using Mark's Finest Papers set called Hearts, hearts, hearts for the Love sentiment. I stitched around the pocket and jeans panel with my sewing machine.

Holy Cannoli Girl, you are GOOD with that sewing machine! You could be making money making ballgowns and instead you are making wonderful cards to cheer up Lauren. I Love your card.

Now that would be the perfect Academy dress! Comfortable and able to let you forget about everything being just so so you can enjoy winning the awards! Love this look, btw, as it has a cozy feel to it! Many thanks for your efforts on Lauren's behalf!
