Paper Cutz Challenge

Welcome back to my blog, today for this challenge we are to use 3 pattern papers and colors and any theme.  I love doing all these challenges they keep me so inspired and busy that is what I need right now. I have been out of work now for 2yrs for medical reasons, they say I could go back in Jan. but now they have no openings at my same job, I was there for 29yrs. so now I am like most of others looking for a job. So needless to say my crafting keeps me going, so thank you all for posting these challenges. Ok so I have had this ribbon and stamp set wanting to use them so I finally did tell me what you think of my card.

you are the apple of my eye

this is going to be entered in the Paper Cutz Challenge
