When I saw Sandy's post this morning, she used her alphabet stickers and said she's overrun with them and will be using them on her cards all week. I thought some alpha letters would work for those little squares on the bottom of the sketch, but I just sent all my alpha stickers to the grandkids a couple weeks ago. I went searching into that drawer of stamping goodies to find something else to put into these squares & found 2 huge packs of rubons that I seldom ever use (hate 'em!). I saw all those dresses and shoes and decided to use them for my card. Everything you see except the sentiment is a rubon. The sentiment is by HA and it just seemed to work perfectly with the dresses, shoes, and purse. I added a piece of flawed gray ribbon underneath the horizontal border that I bought for just pennies a while ago. The entire roll has a flaw along one edge, so I just hid that edge beneath the cardstock and it gave me just enough contrast to make me happy.
That's going to do it for me today - the race is coming on soon, and it's being held in my home state today, so I'll be tuned in for that :)
Have a fabulous Sunday!

The sentiment is perfect!!! And boy that's a LOT of rubbing... I have some that I've enjoyed adding to cards, but they can be stubborn on occasion!
ReplyDeleteGreat way to use up those rubons and it made a precious card!

Hi Carol - As usual you came up with another perfect card for the challenge. I am slowing trying to figure out who has taken part and hope the Inlinkz will be added soon, so we can see the great projects!!

Carol,
ReplyDeleteWhat a great card. I love how you used the same sketch and I did for the samples and your card look totally different.
I don't care for rubons too but this looks great.
Love that pink and gray. Stylin' card! The InLinkz button is up now.
ReplyDeleteOh my Carol this is just gorgeous! I'm loving that pink and gray combination. So girly.
ReplyDeleteI too detest rub=ons, but this is a perfect way to use them (and use them UP)! Nice job!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card - can't keep up with you lol - great job tfs!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat card, Carol.....I am always in love with pink and grey. I thought Tony was going to pull a fast one at the end, but it was his old car that was sneaky! Did you know I was one of the usherette's at the very first Pocono race? Okay, now I feel really old!
ReplyDeleteI am not a fan of rub-ons either but after seeing your card, I may have to change my mind! It's fun and creative! So glad to see you at Dynamic Duos!
ReplyDeleteLOL! I LOVE this! Rub-ons are a challenge...hmmmm, I now remember that I just bought some retired SU Christmas ones...I am going to have to drag them out after seeing this fun creation!
ReplyDeleteLove it! Thanks for sharing your sketch card! Your little squares are perfect!
ReplyDeleteYour card is very chic and elegant. Thanks for joining us at Dynamic Duos this week. PS: Not a fan of rub ons either but you've done a great job with these.
ReplyDeleteOoh so pretty! I love the dresses and the girly girly feel of the card! What a great card!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card, Carol. I know what you mean about 'rubons', but these look oh so chic. I love the touch of ribbon showing the good side. Very clever!
ReplyDeleteAnd thank you SO MUCH for the beautiful card that you sent my way. It is amazing.. LOVE the sketch and the row of sweet little flowers that follow the curve. So glad you got your goodies. :)
Such an adorable card. Great job using all those rubons!
ReplyDeleteI really like the pink and gray on this card....(and of course, you know how I feel about pink! smile) This card is so "fashionable" and adorable, so very nicely done!
ReplyDeleteThis is a wonderful feminine card and I know what you mean about rub ons. Sometimes, I have had them a long time and they don't work so well...been known to ruin a card or two with them. I haven't tried one in a long time, though.
ReplyDeleteThis is a very nice and pretty card :D
ReplyDeleteFantastic card Carol, great design.
ReplyDeleteHugs

Those rub ons are fashionably fabulous! Such a pretty card and I love the fun design. The pop of texture from the embossing is a great touch. Thanks for joining us at Dynamic Duos this week! :)
ReplyDeleteChic and adorable! Love all those mini images! Thanks for joining us at Dynamic Duos this week! :)
ReplyDeleteRub ons? Really? So cool! Love the fabulous layout too Carol! Thank you for playing along at Dynamic Duos!
