Today it's cold and snowy here. We are expected to get from 6 to 8 inches and I think we are well on our way - it's been snowing for a straight 5 hours now. Should make for some fun picking up my son from school! YUCK! I thought I'd stay home today (no kidding!) and get something done (other than housework - another YUCK).
I made this one for a princess I know who is having a birthday. Like all little people she loves to hear the story of the day she was born. We always begin with "Once upon a time..." My mom still tells me about the day I was born, and I still love to hear her tell it.
My card today is my attempt at randomness. I have pieces taped at angles, and my strip of ribbon is short and unfinished - not neatly wrapped around the side of the card. I know it still looks organized doesn't it. Oh well - I'm still learning! 
The two color bow is made from both pink and yellow seam binding wrapped together. The Spellbinder dress die I found at a local scrap shop - and had to have it. I hope you like it!

Jeanne, this turned out great! There are so many different elements to look at and each one is awesome :)
I think it's gorgeous - so many lovely details - the bow (sigh!), the buttons, the ruller, the body form - all so pretty! Thanks for playing along with CR84FN!
Hope the snow doesn't hang around too long. Take care.
WOW Jeanne! What a sweet card! Lovin' the sewing theme! That dress form is so pretty and all the embellishments look perfectly placed! Thanks for joining along with CR84FN :)
I love this and I do see some randomness in the design. That die is fabulous and I just love the story behind the "day you were born". I have a little princess, 20 years old who still likes to hear that story. Great card and I love those colors, I think I might just have to play along with this one too!
What a fabulous creation! LOVE the millinery theme! :)
Jeanne, this is stunning! I love it and I hope you win the challenge!
