I am very pleased with how the paper looks on this card. Isn't it pretty (the large piece)? I am not very good at combining patterned papers either, so I am working on that as well. If I could change anything about this card it would be to add a little white around the handle. That was a complete oversight. Oh well.
I feel liberated! I actually cut into my paper and enjoyed doing it! And, I have quite a large piece left for several other projects, so it's not all wasted! So, maybe this is a congratulations card to myself, LOL!! :)
Thank you so much for stopping by my blog! I appreciate all of you! I hope you have a very good day!

Super cute! Great job on cutting into that first piece! I am right there with you!
Jen, this is such a pretty card! I love the layout and that bow is really great! I too am a paper hoarder, I cant help it, some of it is just to pretty to cut into!
Glad to be in the new blog group together, we are a talented bunch!
This is so pretty, Jen... LOVE the colors (especially that dp!)

So glad you cut into that paper, because it looks beautiful on this card! I have the same problem with hoarding. I love the big orange bow on this card, too!
Oh Jen, I am the same way about pp!! Can't go into my LSS without buying some and then I come home and don't want to cut into it! I need to make beautiful cards like yours! :o)
This is just EXQUISITE Jen, and let me tell you, that patterned paper is like the "jewelry" of this card, it adds a perfect pop of WOW!!!
Paper Hoarding?? What ever are you talking about? ;) Great card and nice paper too!

Your bow is seriously luscious.
Your choice of pattern paper is perfect!! I think you did a great job combining patterns with the paper and stamps. I too am a hoarder....And I LOVE that orange ribbon!
Beautiful!

Gorgeous patterned paper! Your card makes me want to finally purchase Scattered Showers! :)
I hate cutting into new sheets too but it's oh SO worth it in the end! As you've shown!

Isn't it nice to know you aren't alone with the whole paper hoarding thing! Beautiful card! I love the colour combo. :)
More Scattered Showers goodness! Great card! Love the DP!
That is gorgeous patterned paper -- and I'm so with you on the hoarding thing with the paper, except that I don't cut into it because I'm afraid that I won't be able to do it justice. Crazy, huh? I'm working at getting over that, too. :) So, congratulations on taking that first step of cutting into it! The card is great and I think you combined papers and colors masterfully!
Pretty, pretty car! I am a hoarder too....I have worked in 3 scrapbook stores so you can only imagine how much paper i have!!
I think that just might be the most amazingly perfect bow I've ever seen. I'm in awe.
