Ok, kinda springy colors and kinda fun and flirty. I think, oh I can whip this out in a few minutes and then have plenty of time to shower before church. Fast forward to 8:15 when I should be in the shower or at least in the closet looking for an outfit and I am still in the craft room dealing with this card. Ugh. For the life of me I am not sure why these colors drove me up the wall, and honestly I am not sure if it was actually the colors or if it was just that I had no mojo this morning. So, off to church we went and as soon as we ate after coming home I decided to give it another go. That was at 11:45 central..fast forward {yes, again} to 2:07 central and I am JUST finishing. Oh goodness..I just could not get a good card out of me today. It was so crazy! I have so many card bases lined up and so much wasted supply sitting on the table and in the garbage...lol..I hate mojoless days like this! So, this is what I came up with finally:
I don't know..what do you think? It's a little plain and a little juvenile, but it's all I had today..lol. ..and there was NO way I wasn't going to post something today! Not after all of that time. :)
Well, anyway...I hope you guys like it and now it's time for a nap. I have to be back at church for Awana in 2 hours and then we're having a sleepover tonight. Ok, so it's just me, Aaron, and Ava downstairs, but we're watching "Twilight" (time #47!) and "The Simpson's Movie" and "Harry Potter" (which one is up in the air, but whichever one it is it'll be my nth time seeing it..lol), so I wont be resting then. Have a great rest of the day and i'll see you tomorrow!

It is a perfect birthday card for a tween kinda girl and you could carry the theme through with stars ...... star shaped bubble bath maybe make a journal ..... I think this looks fantastic and sometimes simple is more perfect then all the bells and whistles ...... GREAT CARD KEVA!!!
wow girl, I luv this...so clean, but bold too...great card...have a fantastic day!
enjoy *~*
Great card Keva, love the interaction of the 3 elements at the top (the star, flourish, and ric rac), and the sentiment is PERFECT with them! And of course these are really fabulous colors!
Beautiful card, all the elements look perfect together!
Excellent CAS card! Love the sentiment placement~ Nice job for Act 46!
super cute, keva! love the ric rac trim and that fun star focal:) thanks for playing the Curtain Call!
Oh I like this Keva! Such a great CAS card! that flourish at the top is so pretty!!
Great card-I don't think it's plain at all!
I feel your pain on spending hours on a card you thought would be simple to pull off. SO frustrating but you can't just give up!
I definitely don't think your card is juvenile, not at all. It's just clean and simple and I think it works for the challenge perfectly.
Hope you had fun with the family on Movie night!
Lovely card!
I think this is really cute! I like the sentiment down in the corner. It really balances the card.
This is adorable, Keva! I love how you used the colors! Great card!
I really like your use of the rickrack strips in different colors. The flourish from the star is a fun accent.
Oh my goodness, I had the same struggles with this color combo! Not good for my first week on the Crew! I had lots of wasted cardstock, to say the least. Anyway, I would have never known that you struggled by looking at this fun card. I love that you went bold and bright, and the flourish is fabulous! So glad you stuck with it this week!
Keva, I feel your pain...LOL...I have many of these kinda days myself!!! But after all your card turned out super cute!!! You rocked the colors GF!!! Thanks for playing along with us!!! Hugs ~S~
