This is a set I just HAD to have when I ordered my starter kit last July 1. I loved it then, and I love it again!!! When I got it I only made 4 cards with it, all in my gallery. They were all dark colors, heavily done with b/g stamps and sponging -- dark and rich, I thought, like coffee. It has since sat in the cabinet, untouched.
Well, I was in the mood to use this set again, but I'm not feeling dark and rich -- I wanted to try to do something fresh, light and more modern, so this is what I got -- and I like it!!! It's so totally different from the cards I made with this set last summer. It almost feels like I have a brand new set!!!
One more little note -- you all know I LOVE my Cuttlebug, but I must also confess, I have become a real Ribbon Originals junkie -- WOW, are they fun to use -- and it's all rainy's fault -- she got me hooked on them -- so Susan, thank you (I think???)!!!

Oh, Sharon. this is SWEET! I love the colors, all looking so good and matching up so perfectly with your Sweet Shop ribbon. I have all but one of the Ribbon Originals and haven't used them nearly enough. This is definitely inspiring! I love how you used three of the ribbons on this. I'm soooooo in the mood for this kind of card. Love this set...must order it ASAP. BTW, I loved your other cards with this set, too.

I'm so glad to see you using the ribbon originals, giving me inspiration as my ribbon sits lonely in a basket, unused! This card is stunning and just so much fun to look at! Love the cuttlebug background and the main image is just *mwah*--perfect!
