This paper was designed using an older set from SU that I found on Ebay, called Background Basics...It came in a pretty deep-sized "clamshell" box, and in it were 4 stamps that were longer, border type stamps...little dots and x's, zigzags, double lines, and dots. I was much too afraid to attempt my own freehand striped decorative paper, and I'm not so good at lining up flowers, etc...so I thought, with a mishmash of intersecting lines and colors...who could go wrong with plaid? Also added some stacked ribbon since I missed that challenge last week, too. Love these Rubbernecker summer images...was inspired to buy them by all of Kittie's cute summery cards!!
PS...I am a Speech Pathologist and I have been SO BOTHERED that in my SC card for today that I wrote "to challenging" instead of "too challenging"!!! There, now I feel much better!

This is beautiful, and to think you made that printed paper with your own stamps. Wow, great job! I would have thought it was printed that way. Terrific masculine card, and hey even the best of us make little mistakes. Think of it this way . . . it was only a little O. *wink* I'm an MT, and I can totally relate. I have a few (cough, cough) typos each day myself.
