More Purple Stuff

My friend Angela got sucked into buying these Stampin' Up sets from someone who was a Stampin' Up demonstrator (Sidebar: For those of you not familiar with Stampin' Up, think Avon lady, but with stamps instead). Since they had been sitting around her house for a year or so, and she hadn't really touched them, she thought they'd get more use sitting around in my house, and lent them to me. So here I am, using them :). 

This card uses the sets Carte Postale and Delight in Life sets. In retrospect, the mounting on the dark purple should have been done in lavender to match the ribbon, but uh.. it was glued down already and I didn't want to change it. Dots were embossed with the Cuttlebug Swiss Dots folder. Ribbon is from Fabricland's closing out sale. Heh heh. Boy, if I wrote that on the real stamping forum, people would probably shun me. That's not even a craft store - I used "no-name brand" ribbon! It's like saying "This sweater is from Army and Navy." All the ribbon and supplies used by the 'pros' are from specialty online shops that do "new releases" every month or so, of a new product, a new color, a new stamp set. And you can sign up to automatically buy everything that is new from them. And they have online parties to celebrate the "release" of the aforementioned items. Some of you may think I'm a craft nut... but... this is nothing!
