Worked on my swaps tonite

I got one of my pre-order's in for the new summer mini and I'm in a swap for it. So I figured while the kids were at the hockey game tonite I'd see what I could come up with . The first card uses the same stamp set but with the pompom trim, which I realized after I finished making the card was an embellishment I could not use as it is from the spring mini. Darn, back to the drawing board. I actually pulled out my color coach and found a combination of colors that worked with some pear pizzazz ribbon I had. That would be the 2nd card. I'd love to hear your comments. Now I'm off to go look after myself, I have been so sick with this cold this week. It really hasn't been much fun. Every try making cards and filling up a garbage can with kleenex while your doing it? It's not fun, trust me.
