After spending 3 hours in the dentists chair this morning, it sure was nice to get into my craft room, especially before the pain meds wore off...LOL!! Thanks for the wonderful challenge, Julia...I love distressing!! This is also for the Queen for the Day challenge #8 to honor Lynn (allee's). Lynn has such a fabulous gallery....I finally picked her allee's CAS58 card to case. I kept the same basic layout, theme, and colors. I added the oval distressed image layer and matting, Groovy Guave ribbon and butterflies with pearls. I changed the stamps to Nina Brackett's Lovely Shelf set, changed the designer paper to Stampin Up!, and added the scalloped border at the bottom. TFL and Lynn...I hope you have enjoyed you week with the crown!!!

Three hours - oh Joan, poor you. I can't imagine spending that long at the dentist and then coming home and producing something as lovely as this - I'd just want to curl up in bed and feel sorry for myself!

YIKES, Joan!!! Speaking of DISTRESSING!! Hope you weren't having a root canal or anything too major, but 3 hrs doesn't sound promising for just a routine cleaning!!!! Then, to come home and pop out such an elegant beauty. Love that "tea time" paper. Funny, I HAD to get it and still haven't used it yet!!

I work in a dental office and I always tell the patient I like being on the other side of the chair not in it! Love the card! Very pretty colors and the flowers are sweet! TFS

Beautiful flowers Joan. I love that dp, reminds me of wallpaper I could use in my "boudoir"...that's if I had one. Gorgeous take on the challenge, always a pleasure to see your beautiful card. TFS
