My card this week uses a template from Creations by AR called Elegant Sole and I have to admit it was a little bit of a stretch since these days, I am happiest in sandals or lightweight hiking shoes.  I do recall the days when I wore heels every day and when I pounded the pavement jogging.  I just had to add some bling.  The purse template is from Mirkwood. I love the flowery and summery feel to these designs.

An Apron for You

Hello again, Friends!  Today's card is one of my favorite shape templates--an apron card.  Being a cook, I love to share recipes with friends.  This card uses double sided designer paper, a MS border punch, a McGill vintage label punch, a TAC sentiment, and a recipe card template I found online.  Although I have many sizes of ribbon, I come back to the thin, solid color ribbons over and over again.  The card opens so I can put a nice message inside. I will enter it in the Tuesday Throwdown  this week because the theme is "Don't be square!" and the apron shape card fits that challenge.

I will also try to enter it in the following challenges:
