Okay, so I was annoyed this morning because I could not browse my fave blogs because BLOGGER WAS NOT WORKING!!!! I mean, don't they know that is how I enjoy my morning coffee - sheesh! Now my whole routine is thrown off - LOL!I am soooo lovin' my new tart and tangy set and already have to order more Summer Picnic DP - can't get enough, I tell ya! This card is 4.5 x 4.5 - I love this card size. I used Real Red card stock for the base, then layered it with Old Olive card stock (this color is getting a workout!) . Then, there is a layer of Bashful Blue card stock. I love the multi-layered look, it gives the card such dimension. The DP is of course Summer Picnic - I used coordinating sides and took the square and cut it diagonally for some visual insterest. The image is mounted on Bashful Blue card stock and stamped on Whisper White. I did some faux stitching (I can't help myself) and then used the cute little cherry stamp from my Tart and Tangy stamp set. I colored it in with my Stampin' Write Markers and then hand drew the little ones up top so that I could actually portray a bunch (don't look too closely, I am so not an artist!) I then used the sentiment from my One Smart Cookie stamp set (love it!!) and stamped it in Real Red Classic Ink. I used my Small and Large Oval Punches, added some Real Red grosgrain ribbon and popped the whole thing up on dimensionals. I did add some small dots in Real Red marker around the edge of the Bashful Blue oval just for fun. I hope you like this fun little card and have a fantastic Saturday! I am off to my crop - is it just me, or does everyone pack up their whole house when they go to one of these things??!! I have to take my stamps, inks, brads, etc. but it is so much!! I need to be more organized I guess, but I am afraid if I don't take them all, the one I don't take will be the one I need - LOL!!! Can't wait to share with you tomorrow!!!

Lovin' this one too!
M.
Must be all around. My blogger was not coming up either for a while. And, I guess I'm not the only one who packs everything but the kitchen sink. Then when the night is over I realize I didn't even use half the stuff I brought with me. Go Figure!! Have a great weekend!
Great tart and tangy card! Glad to see another summer picnic addict! LOL!! Love your hand drawing!! It looks great!
Oh yep I agree pain in the butt this blogger was when I first tried to get on. URGH!
Love the cherries on your beautiful card Alex! HUGS right back atcha! :)
I find it way too hard to leave the house to scrap . . . I want to take EVERYTHING! Love your card!
You asked about the crop: I've never done a digital page. It's an actual scrap page. They issue a challenge, you scrap it, photograph it, and upload it to the site to show that you've done it. It was FUN!
I was to agree I was not happy either not to be able to blog! :)
I love your card!
I guess it's a good thing I went into work this morning so I didn't know blogger was down. :) I would have been upset too as that's how I usually start my Sat morning. Gotta say that I really love this tart and tangy cherry card of yours! It's SWEET! and makes me want that paper too! Smiles, Pam :)
What a cute card. My daughter, Kayla, would love it, it has cherries on it and she loves all things cherries!!

Alex,
It was so great to meet you today! I'm so glad you're scraping in "Paradise"...I hope you had as much fun as I did!

Ha ha Alexandra I feel your pain, man I don't know how I would feel if I couldn't view my fav blogs over my morning coffee, well it would just stink! I only took three small containers of scraps and a few necessities to my scrapday yesterday and I made 7 cards, girl, it can be done! Love this card, so bright and cheerful
Gorgeous Alex the colour work so well!

I have a feeling I'm gonna be addicted to this set too! What an adorable card! I love that color combo! It looks "tart and tangy"! I'm with you on the whole coffee routine too! I just do mine 3 hours earlier I'm sure...being east coast and all. :) {SMILES}
