First up, it's the hubs and my anniversary today. Something about 22 years of wedding bliss. We are celebrating by going to the
Stamp and Scrap Fest Convention. And now you know why he's a keeper, cuz he caters to my every whim.
It's also time for show and tell for the latest
Merry Monday challenge, which is a color combo. I'm learning that color combos are not my favorite since I have to use what I'm told and not what my whims want. However, the challenge is enjoyable.
This time the challenge was to use brown and green, gold and cream. It was supposed to be
chocolate brown, whose color I maintain depends on what type of chocolate you buy. This card was much more elegant in my head but I think it rather headed into blahsville. In hindsight, I don't thing you can make gingham be elegant. It is kind of whimsical, like me. It doesn't pair well with gold. Or pearls. Or drinking with your pinky extended because you are elegant. Or just think you are.
The Fine Print: Stamp by A Muse Artstamps, dies by Spellbinders, yellow glitter (I kid you not, the label says that is yellow) by Art Institute, the ribbon that was supposed to be all gold but isn't because I remembered it wrong came from my stash, gingham paper by DCWV.

Happy anniversary to you and the hubs! I know you're having fun at the convention and can't wait to see what you found there:) I love the gingham with the dark green - it's got a homespun feel to it, and the sequin on the ornament is genius! NJ!
Happy Anniversary - what a way to celebrate... I'm sure he'll have a wonderful time! Seriously, congratulations to both of you.
Cracking Christmas card - though I know exactly what you mean about being dictated to by colour combinations!!

I think you're right...gingham can't be elegant. But I like the way you used it on this card. I hope you enjoyed your crafty anniversary.
I just adore that gingham paper and your fabulous ornaments. I love the touches of glitter too. A wonderful card. Thank you so much for joining us at Merry Monday.
Gingham may not be elegant, but the ornaments are and I really like this card...you did a great job considering the color combo wasn't your choice! And Happy Anniversary...in this day and age 22 years is definitely something to be proud of! :0)
I am quickly learning to LOVE your posts (and comments)...you always make me smile! First off, congrats on 22 years of wedded bliss...yes, your husband is a keeper for sure! Second, I think your card is not "blah" but rather warm and cheery. Gingham may not be "pinky up" elegant but it is very nicely used on this card...and I really like it!
Lovely card, the gingham is fabulous. Thank you for joining us for Merry Monday.
