Suzanne at The Card Yard suggested that we Celebrate our ... Ugliest Card Ever.
I had a fun time wandering through my blog history ... and honestly had quite a few finalists for my blog post ... but finally went with this beauty from December 2008 ... seriously what was I thinking.
When I showed my husband ... he said ... do you think it could be any busier? Apparently I had a serious case of pattern overload with this design. I mention in my original blog post that I really didn't do much planning as I worked through a Hero Arts sketch ... yeah, no surprise there. The good news is that with passion and practice ... I have improved ... although every once in a while a few still wind up in the trash.
So hop on through and enjoy it as everyone celebrates April Fool's Day with our Ugliest Card Ever.
The cards on this hop are making me smile soooo Big! Love it!

I think my card and your card are related - I think I threw every technique on mine and you got a LOT of pattern going ! :)

What a fun post. It sure was an experience going thru my blog looking for an ugly card.

I agree! You've "come a long way baby!" Hee! I'm sure, however, the mix and and match of color/ pattern/sketch, etc. were spot-on back then. :)

You have improved! I think the red pattern is what seems off for me, but it's not the worst ever! I love all the comments people's hubbies are making along this hop. :) Thanks for joining the hop!!!
