What was I thinking?

So I saw this card and I totally went "oooooooh, that would be perfect for a friend of mine." I rushed over to Kenny K Downloads to buy the digi (I know, me buy a digi) so I could make a similar card.

Once I got the digi printed out and as it stared up at me I said to myself, "Omg, you totally bit off more than you could ever possibly chew." Also, check out the dt samples at Kenny K's Girlz. Yeah, I knew I wouldn't even come close to those.

But, I did stick with it. The card totally took me for-ev-er to complete.



But I have to admit that I do like how it turned out.

Edited to add: Darn it! There so should be a comma between those first two words, right? (Yep me, the comma Queen, forgot a dang comma.)

  2. OMG I love that sentiment! And no the way my GFs and I say it...there is no comma (it's almost one word:))! I think you did a marvelous job coloring her up and the slightly distressed edges look fantastic!

Okay, so ever since I started my blog (well, maybe not right from the get-go, it was probably a good six months or so before I realized you could change it from just "Leave your comment") I've tried to come up with something witty to type here.

*sitting with brow furrowed in concentration*...*staring at the ceiling while pursing lips*...*resting with head on hand while tapping foot*...

Nope, I still got nothing.
