I wanted a design I could make 4 cards of for my August quota, but I feel a bit meh about this, so it's not going to be it. The lettering inside is cut from silver glitter card, so it is more sparkly. Also I highlighted the embossing on the folder with a silver pen. It's pouring rain here today and hard to get a good photo :-(.

All I can say Sabrina is that your "meh" is my "oh wow, I can't believe this turned out so great!" The shiny sentiment along with the pretty pine die cut is such a pleasing look. I wish I could send you our Hot sunshine in exchange for a little rain. There is only one small patch of green grass left in my yard. Everything else looks just lije your pinecones.

I can't believe you aren't thrilled with this - I think it's awesome! The die cut pine bough is gorgeous and looks fantastic in the corner of the frame. Terrific design!

One woman's meh is another woman's wow. This may not be a card you want to reproduce, but it's certainly worth sending to someone! Love the open front with the acorn and pine branch frame.

I think this card is gorgeous! There is nothing meh about it, but I do understand because I think we can, at times, be our worst critic. Or we have worked on something a long time and we are simply tired of it. However, this card is stunning! I love everything about it and whomever receives it will be thrilled with it! ~Karen.

Oh my gosh, I LOVE this card!!! The cones & boughs and hanging ornament and a peek to the inside - winner, winner, winner!
You commented that you are meh about this card....I noticed that the only element of this card with no sparkle/shine is the greenery. A twist of the silver cording/string at the base of the pine cones and light touch of Wink of Stella might be all this card needs to make you love it as much as I do!
Popping this puppy into my favorites as an inspiration piece. TFS!
