Hi! I am posting twice today - I don't know if I will have time tomorrow - since I have lots of running around to do. I saw the inspiration for the Case Study and I started tearing apart my scrappy room - pulling out papers, and Spellbinders, and ribbons. It looks like a tornado hit! It will probably take me longer to clean up than it took to make the card : ) !!
I hate when I pull out a Spellbinder die and it gets lost under all the pop dots, paper remnants and scraps of ribbons! I think I've bought the set of standard circles 3 times now!! I'm thinking about putting a magnet strip somewhere and sticking them to it once I've cut out the shape. I hate of how many times I've looked through the garbage or my paper recycle bag to see if I threw one out by mistake. Maybe you've conquered this problem - if so I'd be happy to hear your solution!
I hope you like this fun Halloween card. I had a hard time photographing it because of all the black. The ribbon is organza so it is shimmery, and I embossed the stamp.

Wow!!! Just love this card! It's a true beauty with the circle dies, sentiment, paper, and bow! Very lovely, great job!!! Am now a new follower!
I laughed out loud when I read this post Jeanne. I have lost one of my circles too. This is a great card and so funny that you wound up back with the original circle diecut. Spellbinders should have you on their DT. I have spent so much money on their dies after seeing your beautiful cards and I really mean this.
Your card rocks! Love it all!
Kindest regards,
Jennifer

Your card has a gothic vibe to it! Well done with the colors. And your post was so funny! I would love a die storage remedy too!!!
