Weekends are just never long enough are they?? I had every intention of posting this card as a "simply Sunday" project but the mojo just wasn't there.. sigh.. I think I was feeling blue that my partner in crime is under the weather :( so sad.. anyway, since I was just so darn lazy, I figured I'd switch the theme to Monday blues!!
ooooooohhhh!!! 
How's that for a little challenge? a "blue" card - either color or emotions?? share your creations here, I'll pick a winner next Monday for a little prize!!!! Wouldn't that be fun?? Come on.. jump right in!!
Okay, now, back to this card, I spent about 6 hours struggling with this card - I tried every piece of patterned paper I own (literally), I tried every color, layer, shape, accessory etc.. NOTHING worked.. so I peeled off everything and just smacked it onto the top of my table in the world's biggest huff and lo an behold - magic! This Taken with Teal cardstock was right there. Nothing more needed. it never occurred to me to just leave it alone (or at least keep it as simple as possible) and wouldn't you know, I actually really liked the end result!
I guess sometimes, less is more!! I'm still loving these Rachelle Ann Miller stamps (aka RAM) stamps!! SO stinkin' cute..by the way, for those of you who have asked where I got them from: LittleC's is the place to go!! SUPER store and awesome fast shipping!! Make sure you mention my name when you order!! (mind you, you'll get absolutely nothing for doing so, but it will make me feel like I'm popular!! LOL..) Just teasin' but it is a great store and you can find these cuties there!!
ANyway, I hope you join the "Monday blues" challenge! Thanks for checking in!!
