Wow, it's been almost two months since I joined in on the fun with Unity Friends With Flair. I've missed it! These days, it's rare that I don't have a required post on Fridays so today I'm taking advantage of it even if it's an hour before Mr. Linky closes. ;) Today, I wanted to share a card that was rejected for Paper Crafts magazine's Card Creations: Get Inspired special issue which was released in November 2011. If you have this issue, you can turn to pages 52 and 53 to see the cards that were selected for the inspiration photo my card was based on. I did have four other cards picked up for this issue which I was absolutely thrilled about! It was one of my favourite calls to create for.
My card uses my favourite Unity background stamp, Giving It All Meaning, the large key from With Love, the small key from Honey, I'm Home! and a sentiment from Think Happy Thoughts.

So elegant!
You're such a giant inspiration!
Thank You Emily <3
This is a beautiful card.
That is an awesome background stamp Emily and looks fabulous with the bold red sentiment. Fantastic card :)
Such a wonderful combination of colours and I love the text background. The wording is so perfect for the theme of your card. Beautifully Done!
So pretty, Emily! Love the big key with the smaller key! And then that half circle punched out on the right just adds that bit extra that the card needed! Love it! Wishing you a lovely day!
Hugs, Wendy
P.S. Thanks for your sweet comments on my cards!
Thud! This is amazing! Thanks so much for the great ideas!

Funny, as soon as I saw this card (before I read your description), I knew it had to be for that inspiration photo! Great work... love it!
I am lovin the keys.. so fun! hugs
Such a very pretty card! I need to go see what could have been picked over this beauty. The little half circle cut-out is inspired.
It was springish here too for a bit and is now freezing! Oh well we have to get the cold weather eventually right? :> Love this card so pretty, I love the keys and the twine tieing them up!
I can see why this background set is a favorite! I love this card!
Emily even if this one was rejected I love the background which ties down with the beautiful sentiment.
I really love your card - especially the keys tied with the red floss. Or is that embroidery threat - it is nice!!

That was a fun issue! Your card is great.
Love the keys on this card.
Hey, an hour before is still before!!!
Toy shopping & baking? I kind of want to come play at your house today :) We just got a 30cm dump of snow overnight (and there are still flurries coming down...even though it's -19C. WHAT??)
I love the mix of keys & text, and the fun tab detail on the side :)
That's a beauty, Emily! I missed FWF this week, which was a shame because I truly love it. I hope you had a fabulous day of baking and toy shopping!!! (Now, would that be "toy" shopping for the kiddo or the mom???? Inquiring minds wanna know!!!! Tee hee!!)
Love the little keyhole in the corner!
This is fabulous! Really love the look of that key! Happy Valentine's to you!!
Wow, can't believe they rejected it! Amazing, love the layered keys.
This is so fabulous! Love it!
Have a wonderful Valentine's Day, hugs, Karin
Awesome, Emily! I really love the look of this card. It's so great because I think it could go either masculine or feminine. That's a rarity!
so pretty! love your take on the inspiration photo. me have a reject from this same photo, too! =) yours is far better though! love it, Emily!
love it GF...
Oooo! LOVE!! The key looks so real, at first glance, I thought it was (and then you would be moving into shabby chic territory). The notch by the sentiment is so rad. Love the colors!
ohh.... this is really beautiful love the background stamp with soft color. so inspiring :) AND THE KEY.. so cute!
What a gorgeous card -- I just love the keys all tied up with a bow. How romantic.... :)
