This is my failed attempt at today's technique challenge! This is my story!
1. Bwahahahaaa!!
2. I am cruising through the gallery this morning and come upon a card with comments on it about todays technique challenge taking an image from a magazine and making a card with it!
3. I am pressed for time and I thought I can do this, I have an idea and it will be quick!
4. So, I pull out some magazines excited about getting revenge on those stupid return postage paid mailer thingys that annoy me so much when reading my magazines! I make this card and then go back and read the challenge!
5. Yikes! Betty was talking about gold this and embossing that and it quite obvious my *technique* of punching out flowers isn't gonna fly!
6. Oh well, my boss gave the Photographer a subscription to Reader's Digest and I thought this would be a cute thank you note.

very clever, I can just see your report card, and I QUOTE
*...Although Cindy plays VERY well with others, she is sometimes so excited and exuberant to do her work that she does not follow directions. The positive side to this impetuous nature that she displays is she often has amazing results and her *mistakes* lead to wonderful masterpieces!!! I would not want to do anything to dampen her enthusiasm for the arts and would encourage her to read through the whole assignment BEFORE she begins, however I must add she is a most delightful and cherished member of our class.*
Respectfully submitted, Miss Crabtreee
BWAHAHAHAHA I love your card Cindy, how very clever you are!!!!

Boy, has NancyRuth got you pegged or what???? I about peed my pants reading her comment! Too funny!
In my next life, I hope I am given HALF your imagination so that I may create great things! This is so darn cute, Cindy! I love how you took that annoying magazine insert and made some beautiful black and white flowers out of it.

I think from now on you should pay more attention to Miss Crabtree's report card and read through the assignment before you begin. That being said, your exuberance and creativity are not to be overlooked. I give your card an A+ with a slight demerit for lack of compliance!!

Unbelievable, I also loved Nancy's '' Report'' from Miss Crabtree. I think Miss Crabtree is a great new name for Nancy. Wonderful and thoughtful card. It belongs in the TLC gallery. Please add the link.
