Kudos to you, Jen for a reality challenging challenge...inviting us to open our closets for a closer look...not a pretty sight! I did escape the prima thingy. But paper that's a skeletion in my closet...I can't resist my local lss's 10 for a $1 rack...and I did aquire too much metal in the beginning as in grommets and brads...and I like Jen dug out the speciality eyelets for this card.
I adore this girl who proudly proclaims to BE yourself! This is for a coworker whose favorite color is red! I cuttlebugged the red with the D'vine swirl folder. The brown bg is stamped in Su's floral bg with Tim Holtz distress brushed corduroy (still out on my counter from yesterday). I did cut into paper from my stash...a Legacy Collage from Design Originals. I used felt flowers and fancy eyelets. A heart on her sleeve, a flower in the ever so chic middle gurl and a blossom brooch fashionably large! I stamped THE girl of the day on white cs with Versacolor black and embossed in clear. Her hat is popped on foam and embossed in red.
I'm so happy to be old enough to deny the fads and flaunt my own style...thanks very much Jen, for reminding me of THAT today!

Susan, this is awesome. Love it. Yeah, I know what you mean about eyelets. I know I could make a card like "Mothermark" did with the buttons all eyelets of all kinds. Pretty sad...tfs
