There is a story behind this card. I no longer have a craft room. I settled into the dining room a couple of weeks ago. Wow... I have stuff I had totally forgotten about! The main image is an ATC card I made for a swap. I have quite a few of them. What am I supposed to do with them. Well, here's the first one. This card makes me smile.
1. It's all SUO - Can't remember when that happened last.
2. A few years ago when I was known as jen70, I would never used designer paper on a card. I was all about background stamps, even double background stamps. I mixed old school BG ATC with designer paper. Whoa!
3. The term CAS hadn't been heard of yet. White space? Not only did I not leave space alone, Just using a white card base was... well, it wouldn't have gotten any views or comments. LOL
SU Stamps: Canvas BG (on the bashful blue), chocolate chip wheel, part of a sentiment, the "sweet" was made for a punch but I don't remember the set.
SU Paper: white, chocolate chip, creamy caramel, bashful blue
Accessories: caramel gingham ribbon, brads, circle punch, dimensionals

...sure it�s got a catchy beat, but can you stamp to it?
