For TODAY's CHALLENGE
OK-this is what I am wearing to the party. haha This is me in Louisville Kentucky for a National Square Dance Convention back int 19XX haha-I am not telling you!!! I was looking for my head banger ball picture and came across this one......I made this dress. This is the actual "Convention" dress.

A corner punch for the fancy corners that I slipped my paper into
Martha Stewart Deep Eyelet Punch
Martha Stewart, Butterfly, Frond, and Branch Punch

Pearls, Ribbon and Stickles

This is a picture of the card with the envelope I created.
My Paper is from My Mind's Eye called Penny Lane

Ok, should I comment on the card or your dress picture first?? I think I will start with the dress.. number one, you look adorable and number two I can't believe you made that. You don't even look like you are out of high school..was that a class project or something..LOL Just joking. Now to your super cute card. We know you love bears, so we expected a bear image from you right? ;) Your colors look wonderful and those flowers..OH those flowers are sooooooooo perfect. I bet you made the card to match the flowers just so you could use them huh?
