I had pretty much given up hope of completing a card for the Moxie Fab World's Spectacular Spectacles Challenge. My original idea revolved around the punny sentiment, "You're spec-tacular!" I was struggling with the design and then I saw Jackie's card. How awesome is that? The colours, the sunburst (starburst?), the gems - it rocks! And it got stuck in my head so I had to move on from my initial idea because Jackie's beauty was all I could picture. Hate when that happens! LOL! Finally I came across this pair of Unity glasses and immediately thought of John Lennon which led me to the peace signs. *Sigh of relief* Project complete!
Stamps: (Glasses from Dec '11 KOM - Filled With Love) Unity, (Peace sign from Hippie Chic) Market Street Stamps
Inks: (Cherry Cobbler, Soft Suede) Stampin' Up

Beyond fabulous...did you type the sentiment or did you have that in a stamp too! This is awesome!
What a super card. It all pulls together so nicely. Great quote, and those glasses are perfect.

I knew right away who this card was modeled after, fantastic!
This card is fantastic, the kraft works so well with this 'peaceful' idea!
Well I love it :) Perfect colours, and aren't Lennon's some of the most iconic glasses? Awesome. And now I'm obediently off to check out Jackie's card :)
Jen you're a riot! I'm giggling because that's happened to me before too! I have an idea in my head and before I can make it and post it—I see someone else has beat me to it! LOL
I love your John Lennon glasses and the peace signs! The kraft on kraft and the retro colors are perfect! :)

So cool! I love those rich colors on kraft! I hear you on getting derailed on a project! I love what became of your detour though:)
