For my card today I am using Verve's Fabulous You, and Super Dad stamp sets.  I am using Verve's Cut Above Ribbon Banner and Rounded Scallop Frame dies.   This card is for my dd who leaves for university in 8 days. Bring on the Kleenex people!  Now that it is getting closer, some of Erica's comments are implying that she is uncertain of the unknown.  This is a big step. I thought these two sentiments alone are wonderful, but combined they really say what she needs to hear.   I am using some fun Webster's Pages papers from my stash.  I distressed the edges, added some ink distressing as well, then stitched.  I layered two of the Ribbon Banner dies for the focal point.  I finished with some gems, seam binding bow, and clear stick pins.  I am using this month's SFYTT.  Verve is the sponsor this month.
