Okay, before you look at this card, I was so totally stumped by Jeanette and Kelly's challenge. They sent us clothing images (an image having something to do with clothing) and then sent lots of mismatched papers and embellishments. We had to sort through using what was in the kit to make a card. I will be the first to admit I was so lost and I don't like what I created.
There is so much stuff covered up on this card it's not even funny! Jeanette I did use all but 2 of the papers you sent...most might be covered over though.
It seems I don't have much fashion sense. LOL! The people on that TV show might be knocking on my door any minute telling me how bad I am!
For the sentiment (not the one on the American Arts, Body By stamp) I punched a piece from one of the papers and then the 100% is from a sticker sheet Jeanette sent. I love the floss she sent and thought with me making lots of circles on my card that the floss would look best left like it came to mimic the circle shapes. The doodle dots I made, I thought, brought a little unity to this very fussy card.
Now, there was 1 more challenge this month. J and K asked us to post a picture of ourselves or someone else depicting WHAT NOT TO WEAR.
Have you ever played a game at a Christmas party and thought "how embarrassing" only to find out that it made it's way online?!
This is my mother in law playing a game at a BIG family get together.
The object (or I think this was the object) of the game was to get as many balloons as you could into the stockings and then place the stocking over your head while singing your favorite Christmas song. The one to finish first, won. They were so goofing looking! I just had to get pics. I can't wait to make scrapbook pages of these! hahahaha
Be sure and check out all the other Darlings cards. Links to their blogs can be found in my left sidebar (toward the bottom). Thanks!
We also have a guest designer this month! Please check out Janet's blog found here!
Until next time...

I like the colors that you used, Melina. They worked well. All of your extra touches, dots and dashes really tied the card together.
As for the game your MIL played well, I have never heard of that one and probably for a reason! Makes for good laughs and great photos.

Great card Melina! Love the circles and the layout! I have to admit that when I took pictures of the inside of my card I realized that one whole DP was covered too....no where to be seen!!
Love it....and that pic of your MIL...does she know you posted that?? LOL!!!
This card is FUN and full of details..in fact I consider it to be quite eclectic! Love what you did with the circles and the purple background really makes the whole esamble pop!
Great take on the challenge Melina! :o)
Another "uhhhh...wow?!?" card. LOL. Actually, I think you did pretty good. The card doesn't look that "mismatched". And the image is cute.
Look at you making this great card. I love all those circles. Way to go using the orange twine. And great layout with the DP!
