A to Z of DEE

Hi friends! :) Today's colorful card was made for this week's ColourQ challenge. LOVE these colors!


This card didn't turn out exactly how I had planned, but I'm loving it. Here are the DEEtails:

I started by building my layered ruffle embellishment with some Scallop Edge border punched Early Espresso card stock, some ruffled teal satin ribbon from my stash, the edge of a white ruffled ribbon from my stash, and some Flirty Ribbon Originals. Then I created my little note pad page by trimming down some some Whisper White card stock and punching the top edge with the Spiral Border punch. I masked the edges and stamped the center with SU!'s A to Z stamp. I layered on a piece of Calypso Coral cardstock stamped with the sentiment from SU!'s Apple Blossoms and embellished the card with some buttons - a coral button from my stash and an Early Espresso designer button, a chipboard parenthesis, and some flower ribbon trim.

Now, sticking with this A to Z theme, here are some fun facts about me... A few weeks ago, Sue B. sent me a fun little questionnaire so you could get to know me better. I changed a few questions, cause I'm a rebel like that. Haha. Just kidding, I didn't have good answers for some of them (or didn't want to answer them), so I changed it up to something I thought suited me better. If you choose to play along, please link to the comments. I'd love to hear your answers too!
