Isn't Jade the cutest image, just makes me want to go shopping.  Tracey at The Stamping Boutique has designed soooo many cute images to choose from, and if you sign up for her newsletter it is delivered right to your computer with a free image!  I tried a new card style by watching a tutorial.  This is called a "kickstand" card, which is kind of a funny name for a card, but the jest of  it is, the image is the kick stand to hold up the card, just like your bike when you were growing up.  It's a nice change from the traditional square, rectangle, etc.  I'm entering this in the following challenges:
