oh my...I didn't think I could do this challenge! Didn't even try last night, but today I am so glad I tackled it because it really really inspired me! I have NEVER made three cards at one sitting before! Thanks so much Angela for standing in for Jen and bringing this to us!!!
I decided to go back through my stash of cards and pull some ideas together for cards that I loved. I, then had a time NARROWING down the paper, but in the end went with Kaledioscope (3 double sided papers). If you see, my plainest card has all the papers punched as inchies so you can see the pattern I worked with. I also added all the elements I used in all the cards excepting the Cuttlebugged folders. For my metal embellishments I use vintage German scrap and colored staples. The stamp I used is a quote from Hans Christian Andersen, "Every person's life is a fairytale written by God's finger". It is inked in VersaMark and embossed with sea foam ep. I mounted it on the same paper and used the Cuttlebug and nestabilities for each one varying it slightly. I also cuttled with the dry embossing folders either the paisley and/or distressed stripes. On my card in the forefront, I cut and popped the paisley paper.
So I'd be pleased if you let me know what you think! And have a wonderful weekend...

What a wonderful verse - and what a beautiful thought to remember each day, and each moment!! That is just beautiful Susan!! The texture and colours of the cards are beautiful too - but the verse really captures my heart! Lovely work Susan!
