cards for the Right At Home card class

So I take a monthly card class at my LSS, Right at Home Scrapbooking. We get fun new kits each month to take home and create with using various card magazines. Here are the cards I made for this month...

I've always loved these ribbon borders where the ribbon it bunched up for for some reason I always forget about it! I saw it in the magazine we're using for this month and finally gave it a go! I couldn't get it to stay down with just adhesive so I sewed it down and like it better that way anyway.

This is me getting a little Tim Holtzy which I don't do often but it's always fun. I used rock candy crackle goop (don't remember what it's really called) to cover the doily and once it was dry I rubbed my old paper distress stain ink pad over the whole thing so that the ink would get into the crackles. I can't ever quite get the goop on think enough so I'll have to practice some more.

This is just a nice clean and simple card. I did try adding some of the crackle goop to the hearts too but you can really see it here (that product was part of the kit)

Ok, I wasn't even sure if I would add this card to the post but what the hell. I can't decide if I like it or HATE it! And, I couldn't really take a head on shot because you could see my reflection in the acetate sheet! I used more the crackle stuff on the flags up top. Anyway, if you hate it too don't judge me, we all have our trial and error cards right?!
