You know the saying, "Which came first the chicken or the egg?". With this card I kept thinking "Which came first the ribbon or the card?". In this case, the ribbon came first. I bought this ribbon back in January (when it was freezing outside) because I feel in love with it and knew I would have to use it to make a 4th of July card. So, here it is almost 6 months later when I anxiously brought it out to use. Those of you who know me aren't the least bit surprised at my behavior because you are well aware of my obsession with ribbon. ;o) Yes, I'm giddy! The super cute 4th of July printable stamp I used on this card is a design by Regina at The Cutting Cafe'. If you click on the link you'll see she's having a special going on right now with this stamp.
2 Sketches 4 You for this card design. Oh, if you haven't heard they are having an Ultimate Card Showdown. It is now into the 3rd round of competition and the Top 20 were announced this week. Good luck to each and every one of these amazing designers!

I must have caught a nasty bug because I began having a slight fever and yucky cough. I'm trying to make sure no one else in the family gets sick so I've been wiping every single door knob, light switch, faucet, computer mouse etc.. with disinfectant wipes. I even went as far as to buy surgical masks for me to wear around the house since I'm coughing so much. I laughed so hard as I was making this card today with my surgical mask on. We thought it looked like I was performing "card surgery". I don't know, maybe my illness has made me a little delirious but we both got a good laugh out of it!
Here's to wishing you a HEALTHY and happy weekend! Take good care out there!
