I didn't plan on blogging again this week but I do have a ton of publication rejects to share so I thought I'd pop in and share one of those with you today. Besides, I've missed far too many Friends With Flair Fridays. It's good to be back! This card is pretty old, meaning I made it three or four calls ago. I can't remember which one it was for but I still love this card. For whatever reason, they didn't like it so you get to see it! The sentiment is from Take Time To Laugh. I love that font! And the gorgeous border, which I inked twice to get the length, is from To The Moon & Back. It's one of my all-time favourite borders. I fussy cut along the top edge and added an Old Olive layer behind it, fussy cutting it once again before adhering it to the card base.
Have a great weekend!! Today, I booked a moving company for the Labour Day weekend and now we have to get the condo listed for sale. I hope it sells quickly so I don't lose too much crafting time to viewings. ;)

I really like that sentiment font, too! (It reminds me of my handwriting around Grade 7. :P) The border looks awesome the way you've layered and double-cut it. Nice!
I agree, the font is great. I like that color too and the layering of the border. Keep on sharing :>) And good luck selling!
Your cards are never rejects to me. This one is beautiful.

Fabby card, Emily!! That *is* an awesome font--it's a great saying, too. Love the long shape of this lovely card!! Glad you are making progress on your move and more. :)

Gorgeous card, best wishes for your move. :)
Great to see your creation, I love this border, too. I haven't been in the craft room for ages....and the near future isn't looking good, either!
Good luck with the sale of your condo Emily! Love your card, I have to admit that I also really love that border!
Love this sentiment, and nice to have a monochromatic card.
Wow, how could they not have wanted this gorgeousness?? I love how you bordered the border with Old Olive!
Glad you joined FWF this week! I remember when you encouraged me to participate so many months ago! This card is great and that font is also a fav or mine
Love the sentiment and olive color!!! PERFECT!! (=
Lovely card Emily. That green really pops out. TFS.
That's beautiful, I don't know why anyone wouldn't want to publish it! I can't believe you fussy cut that border, twice! It looks amazing :)
It's extraordinary what they pass over but I guess you can't take it personally! I love the technique you've used - SO effective, and in my favourite green too!
It's a winner to me! Love the color and the fussy cutting, too!
Amazing what gets rejected huh? This is awesome and, as always, you are the fussy cutting queen!
Fingers crossed for a quick sale! :)
Beautiful stamp work!! I don't know how they couldn't have liked this, although they probably did, just maybe stiff competition or something? LOVE the olive cs behind the stamped imaged, I thought it was done with a pen!
Love the layering of stamps and the clean line at the bottom Emily! I'm sharing a green reject today too!
Good luck with moving and listing your condo for sale! Your card is beautiful, love your CAS!!!
I am always amazed at the cards they end up rejecting! It's a winner in my book! I adore that border- such a pretty CAS card w/ a nice sentiment :)
Bet it feels good to book the moving co., doesn't it?!
goodness know what they are looking for--this is darling, emily! the border stamp is one of my favs:) good luck for your sale!
I LOVE this one... I am always stunned at what they pass up. Fantastic Em.

So pretty, Emily! Love the simplicity in it, you always really really know how to do that, make it look simple, without anything missing! So pretty! Love the green outline behind the stamped flowers, that's perfect! Have a lovely Sunday!
