I think this might be the ugliest card I've ever made. One of my daughters said that the best thing about this card was the $20 bill. I'd have to agree! lol!
The challenge was to use a stamp set we don't like. I didn't think I had one until I remembered this one. Sunflowers. It is foam mounted and something I picked up at a garage sale for the kids to play with. My least used set is The Wheel Thing. I just HAD to have it, but had yet to use it. I hate beads, but we were challenged to use an accessory that we dislike. No problem there. (I still dislike them!) We were also challenged to use staples on our card. I stapled the money cart onto the black mat. Well, if nothing else, this card gave me and the girls a good laugh this morning. Many times after challenges, I'll make several more challenge cards to mail to friends or just to have on hand. Not this one! But, I'll keep it. Just to have around for a good laugh when my stampin' friends come to visit!

You are too funny! I like how bright it is! Even if it's not your fav, you challenged yourself to use things that you generally don't like and you did it! So, good job!

This is really cute and very creative (definitely not the ugliest)! I like how you did the center of the flowers with the beads and I REALLY like that twenty dollar bill! ;D

Ok, so you don't like it. But just think you came out of the box. It's very bright and I do like the beads. (Nobody paid me to say that, ok my address is) just kidding. Great job.
