This is my first card with this set. I'm making two of every card lately, so I can have some to give away as gifts. This set is really cool---if you aren't familiar with how it works, you can look at Nichole Heady's blog post (here) where she explains it. I have to say the first set of "lines" from the set were a breeze, but when I started the set for the second card I had to redo it about 3 times. (Why, you ask, didn't you just make one big piece of paper and cut it into two cards???----because I didn't think to make the 2nd card until I realized how easy the first one was!---I have issues, clearly!) ANYWAY---I don't know what I was doing wrong, but I couldn't get it to line up. I did finally get it to work. I'm sure I just needed to take my time.
I love how quick this card was (the first one, anyway). There is nothing fancy about it, but I like it. I hope you do too! I love black and red and Kraft together. I think I'll use this color combo and mix up the images a little! I added a little bling to the focal point---the sentiment is from Out on a Limb. The sentiments in that set are so great.Thanks for checking in! I hope you have a great day!

I've only posted ONE THING we did right, BTW.
Kathleen, you are so funny. So you like the Guideline, eh? I think it is the most ingenious thing (almost) I've ever seen.....but sometimes things look better on a blog than they do on my desk. So I am still on the fence about it. I want that Quilt set, though, but I am waiting on everything right now until the new SU catalog comes out!!! This looks awesome, whatever you did, you nailed it.
