My friend Maria Gurnsey does gingham like no one else I know! She's got such a flair with gingham papers and ribbon that I just love! I've always loved gingham... believe it or not, my childhood bedroom actually had pink gingham curtains, and the wallpaper was gingham tulips in pink, yellow, purple and green! I kid you not! I wish I had a picture for you to see! But I digress...
Maria's cards with gingham just always make me smile, and most everytime I comment on one of them, I am known to use the acronym I coined, GLG! (Gotta' Love Gingham!) So last week I emailed Maria and said "let's do a gingham challenge together!" So today's the day we're gonna' WOW you with some gingham! (Actually, Maria will WOW you and I'm going to follow on her coat tails! LOL) So here's my card...
Isn't this Kiki Kitty from Pink Cat Studio the cutest!? I just LOVE her! I ordered these stamps recently from Limelight Papercrafts, and as luck would have it they arrived in time for me to use them for this challenge!
For my gingham, I used this lavender paper from Lasting Impressions, black gingham brads from Hot Off the Press, and black gingham ribbon from May Arts.
Now, hop on over to Maria's blog and see her fabulous Gotta' Love Gingham creation! And thanks for visiting me today! I appreciate your visits and comments!

This is just adorable Tammy!!! I always shy away from gingham (it's not my favorite), but when I see this - it makes me rethink my hesitancy. I just might have to bust out some gingham this weekend!!!
