For the past few days I have been on a mission to use up some of the scraps and leftover supplies that have been neglected for sooooo long! For this card, I dug into my "coloring book" of images that I had pre-stamped and colored. Most of the images in the "book" are those that I do not own but had the opportunity to stamp out when friends had them out. I'm pretty sure this retired SU set was called Wanda's Wit and Wisdom. The pink cs is an ancient retired SU color, Rose Romance. I combined it with Rich Razzleberry. The bg white is a piece of shimmery cs that kept getting pushed around on my table in hopes that I would use it for something. The ribbon, of course, is some of that yummy Purely Pomegranite from SU's past in-colors! Even the chipboard letters were gathering dust since the last SU regionals in Orlando. We each received a sheet of these alphas to use on the projects that day. The rest of them came home and were forgotten in the poly folder they came in!! Sad, I know, which is why I gathered all these neglected items and am working on using them in my projects!
The inside of the card reads "Your friendship is the most uplifting thing in my life without underwire!" I love it!!! I think this will go to my very dear friend, upline, and co-worker who will likely also end up being my mentor teacher as I begin my first year as a full-fledged teacher! She's awesome and definitely deserves this! Hopefully she won't see this here first! :0)
Thanks for taking a closer look at my efforts!

Gorgeous use of scraps! Love that ribbon - so rich! And the rose romance goes great with the razzleberry! That glittery 'you' would make the recipient feel very special! Fantastic card, Lynnor!
