~ Elegant ~ Thanks (So Much) ~

WOW!

 It took me 

AND

LOTS

of other people to 

put this card together! 

AND

we did it while the electric 

took a vacation this morning.

So a lot of it was done in the 

DARK.

Wait! ~ 

a new technique?

When you can't 

see 

what you're doing?

The LOTS of other people you ask? 

Well, besides me, Faith at D2D (freebie pumpkin tag digi, progressive challenge), Gina K (freebie background stripes), and SU! (4 stamp sets, [Tiny Tags, Language of Friendship, Day of Gratitude, Delicate Doilies], plus 4 different punches and a lot of fussy cutting (in the dark mind you!).

I've had this idea for quite some time 

and 

finally got it done today! 

Made 4 cards for the office ladies. 

They'll like their card 

but

they won't like that you can't get the 

M&Ms 

out of it!

Just showed this to my husband. 

He didn't get it.

Do you?

Personally, I think it's a HOOT!
