okay, want to see my flop for the night? i finally convinced myself to make a card and of course i can't stand how it came out, i probably shouldn't have uploaded it, it's just boring and YUCK! it needs something and i can't figure out what. the only good to come out of it is that i don't like the fact that it's so symmetrical which is funny because i used to not like things that were UNsymmetrical, so i guess maybe i am growing in my tastes at least a little. oh well, maybe i SHOULD have done laundry and cleaned the bathroom instead

I don't think it is all that bad. I would put it in my pile for for people that don't appreciate the work it takes to make cards. They get all my "less loved" cards. I am glad you posted it though.

hey, kd, no bashing of your own cards is allowed! i think it's great - i love how you used the flourish for a background, and i love the way you laid it out. if you don't want it to be so symmetrical, why not try putting a silk flower (one of the bigger ones) peeking out from behind the left side of your strip...just an idea - i think It's great the way it is!

doing laundry and cleaning the bathroom..not THAT'S A YUCK!!! There is nothing wrong with your card..it's plain and simple and to the point. A bad day in the stamp room is better than a good day washing dishes!!!
Wow! I loved your card because is was simple and made it easy-looking to use that set. It's symmetrical, has dimension with that dp, has lovely colors and I love brad treatments. Then I read your words and became confused! I think your card is lovely! You should give youself a chance! I truly love your card! TFS! (Just read that last line above; I LOVE that!!)

I'm sorry, I just have to post again! I just got my B. Motifs set and decided to hit this gallery for ideas. Again your card struck me as so pretty, then I saw your word *yuck* and was surprised. I opened it up to check it out and lo and behold, there is my (same) comments above. That has to tell you something! Anyway, at least you played around and made the best of your night! Glad you posted it, I'll take your layout idea!
