Vertically Challenged

NO!!!! The weekend can NOT already be over! Where does the time go? I was supposed to have made a final decision about whether or not to join Stampin' Up. I just can't seem to make up my mind. My goal was to decide by this evening...and here it is Sunday evening and I'm still unsure...

Confession time....I didn't intend for this to be a horizontal tag. I put the design paper on THEN realized it was directional and that I cut it in the WRONG direction. Oh well.... (maybe THAT's my answer regarding being Stampin' Up-er...I can't even put design paper on in the right direction!)

  1. Oh Nancy, I love the horizontal tag!! It's just perfect for this image and very creative. So accident or not, it turned out fantastic! Love that big gem and the pearls on here too!

    Wish I could help you make up your mind about SU but can't - I'm actually loving it but it took me a long time to finally "take the plunge"! LOL!
