Hi Everyone. Happy Wednesday. It's almost Friday!!! oh yeah!
So… what happens when a good card goes wrong? Especially when you are using your absolutely, positively your most favorite paper. of all time. full stop. period! you get really grumpy! That's exactly what happened with this card. Trish – this was my original card to say thank you for my flowers. Two of my favorite colors – Razzleberry and Mambo and my all time favorite paper – have I told you I love this paper:-) I wanted to send a posy of flowers to Trish.
Love those flowers from the Lovely Flowers Bundle!
so… what went wrong… let's look at it bit by bit.
OK… so where did that orange ink come from… especially when this card has absolutely NO orange whatsoever…. well.. it was left over from the card I made before this one – last night's card in fact! Well, unfortunately, I haven't found an eraser for permanent ink yet!
then….. i noticed this!
oh yeah! so a really bad smudge.. once again…nothing i can do about that!
i hate it when I smudge. what's the lesson learned here… don't rock your stamp – no matter how much you really, really, really feel the need!!!!
Unless you like the smudge effect – then, hey! go for it!
and… if that wasn't enough…..
what's wrong with this picture… considering the top of the pic is the top of the card
errr….. mmmm… so… Tarzan, anyone? Yeah… the flowers are upside down!!!! You have to be kidding me – flowers growing out of the top of the card!!!!
Was there anything good with this card.. well… yeah… in concept… oh.. .and.. yeah…
the bow…… it's great!!!! and
the sentiment…. Trish.. you really did make my day.
So.. when you put it all together… what do you get?
Trish…. I sent you a different card…but I did want to let you see what I had on my mind. I love the card… I love the paper.. I love the idea… I love the sentiment… and you really did make my day!
So there you are…. a perfect storm of what happens when when several things go wrong!
I hope you enjoyed this blooper 🙂
Have a fabulous Thursday everyone. Your visit to my blog is very much appreciated.
Hugs

LOL! Glad to see I’m not alone in blooperdom–thanks for sharing your mistakes AND your successes. Both inspire. Cheers!
Oh Jaydee, I love the card! After all it is the thought that counts…you should have sent it…everything cannot always be perfect and shouldn’t always be perfect, because we are not perfect creatures by nature. Feel better now? It really is a very beautiful card, and chances are I probably wouldn’t have noticed anything that you mentioned except for the smudge on the letter. Lol.
For those that are keeping up to date and would like to know, my surgery is scheduled for next week Tuesday, 3/30/10. It is estimated to last about 5 hours. They are doing a Mastectomy and removing all of the Lymph Nodes under my right arm. A pretty radical surgery. The normal stay is the day of surgery plus one more day, but the Doctor told me today, that I will go home when she says that I can go home. This is due to my many other health problems. A lot of it will depend on how long it takes me to come off the Ventilator. I am already sad because I won’t have much use of my right arm for awhile and I am right handed, so I don’t know how much time I will be able to spend on the computer. I will definitely try to check in though. Sometime after the healing from the surgery, and some physical therapy, then will come the Chemotherapy, and YES I will definitely lose ALL of my hair. I want to get a denim and leather baseball cap to wear when this happens. No wigs for me. I have seen some pretty cute patterns for some baseball type hats in the pattern books that have bows in the back, but I should have thought of this sooner, because I won’t be able to sew. I had thought of making one in black and another in white to go with everything. I am not sure how I will feel after surgery, but I plan on taking my laptop to hospital with me, so I will try to let you know how I am doing. That is it for now.
I couldn’t quite read the signature, but I think that it was “Cam”. I received the most beautiful butterfly “thinking of you” card yesterday. I love the colors. She put the teeny, tiniest butterfly on the card, that I almost missed it, it is soooooo cute. Thank you so very much. I really do appreciate it, and it made my day. I plan on taking my cards to hospital with me to brighten up my room. I will need something to look at for the long days, I do not watch television. Thank you again.

Jaydee-your card made me laugh. You do so many beautiful cards! It’s nice to see that you are human and have the same problems that the rest of have.
Trish-I will be in the Milwaukee area this weekend and will be sending some heavy duty prayers your way throughout the week. You are approaching this with such bravery. This journey is already making you stronger.
Hi Trish..Wow you sure have a lot ahead of you. You are in my prayers and I will make a special prayer for Tues. I know this is going to be rough on you and I want to wish you the best. We will all be here for you and support you along your journey of Chemo. Yuk, that sucks your going to lose your hair too. My neighbor had chemo and lost her hair.Like you,she would not wear a wig either. She said they really itch!
I would send you a cap if I had your address. I asked for it but I don’t think Jaydee is getting my e-mails. So I will keep in contact with you here!
Hugs to you,
Yvonne
