Isn't it funny how life has a way of taking over? The last week has been spent tending to the sick and injured. Every one has had some version of the flu and every thing from children to my car has been injured. I got rear-ended in the snow that blew in mid-week. My car actually did not fair to badly, as far as I can tell just the tail light was damaged. The lady that hit me however, suffered far worse. Her head light, hood and fender were all damaged. The only bright spot in this is that it was not my fault and I did not get a ticket! That is almost cause for celebration.
Now that everyone is on the mend, I can focus on stamping and card making again. And I need to stay focused for a while. I have a ton of deadlines ahead of me. Creative Cuts and More is about to launch it's new website and which means new assignments. Soroptomist is having it's annual Bras for a Cause event in March. And then there are just the usual need a card for this or that. And speaking of this here is a card that I did last year for the SU! convention, but I think I will use it for an upcoming birthday. 
I used a Sahara Sand tag card from Creative Cuts and More, to which I added the recollections designer paper from Stampin' Up!. I stamped the Bithday wishes from Sincere Salutations inside of the large frame from Finials and Frames. The ribbon was created using markers to simulate the look of Stampin' Up!'s prep school ribbon from their ribbon originals line. 
I created a pocket on the inside of the card by wrapping the designer paper around the bottom half of the tag layer and then trimming with ribbon. I stamped the top part of the tag with white craft ink and finest flourishes set. I like the overall look of this card. And despite hand coloring the ribbon the card is fairly easy to make.
