Hello ladies! 
How was your day? Mine was nothing spectacular.. hung out with the kids, did my workout, some housework, etc.. Miss Mya isn’t feeling so hot.. a fever, cranky, etc… thinking she must be getting more molars.. poor baby! 
So just playing with her and keeping her happy today! Or at least trying to! Tonight i’m going to scrap, finish up my kit, and work on my Gallery Idol Top 15 Card!! Yay!! 
Thanks SOOO much for your votes ladies!! I can’t get anywhere in this contest without all of YOU!! So thanks soo much!! 
My next card will go up on Monday!! You can see the Top 15 cards here!!
And look at this absolutely *Scrumptious* prize I won for making it to Top 15!! Thank-you Paper Crafts & American Crafts! YUM!!
I gotta tell ya.. I LOVE this prize pkg!! Nothing better than bright & bold!
For the Top 20 I made 2 cards…. this one which got me into the Top 15…
And this one that I decided against… what do you think ladies?? Did I make the right choice??
I thought the first card was more “me” kwim? Once again i’ll make a couple cards and pick my fave and go with it! 
I’ll show you ‘cast off’ next Friday again… well i’m off to get Mya ready for bed then to clean up a bit and then gonna scrap my heart out!
Have a wonderful night ladies!! Please pop by tomorrow to see my L’il Scrappers GOT KIT reveal tomorrow! It’s a gorgeous kit!!
Both of your cards are great!!!! I think there is something about the second card that is so awesome!! Guess it is all the bling and the wood Love! You made it to the top 15 so your choice must have been the right one! Congrats!!!

Oh, Carla, you couldn’t have gone wrong with either choice…you TOTALLY deserve to make the Top 15! Congrats and have a GREAT weekend creating your heart out!

YAAAAY Carla! I like the cake card A LOT, but since there were other cake cards, your choice was wise! Congrats! Well deserved.

I love your cards! Sooo very pretty!

Love both cards, but you are right – the red/pink one is more you. That said, I’d have voted for either!

Why do you sound surprised?? LOL. I’m not!!! I mean, have you looked at your work? It’s SO SO IDOL WORTHY!! LOL.

Wow the Cake Card is really pretty too. But you did make the right choice. Congrats. I know you’ll make a great card for the next round. Household items what a great idea.
Lata I’ll stop by tomorrow.

Congratulations!! Totally deserved! And I think you’d have made it with either card.
Love the “cast off” (I totally can’t believe you called it that! LOL!!!!)card, too. Shoot, it’s worth getting married all over again if my friends would make cards like that for me! 
Have fun creating this weekend!!!

I love BOTH cards! I think you chose right though. A few other gals seem to have done the three layer cake thing too. You’ve totally got this one in the bag. Can I tell everyone I know you?!
LOL! HUGS!

Yay! I saw it this morning and figured you’d be on cloud 9!!! Although I love the card you chose, I actually like the reject better–sorry!
Have a GREAT weekend!!!

OMGoodness, I love the one you entered but the other is super gorgeous too! I think you’d have been safe either way!

Wooohooo!! Congrats, sweetie. So well deserved! That other card is super gorgeous too and would have got you in the Top 15 too. I love the black/white/turquoise color combo. Love it!! Good luck, dear. I’ll keep my fingers crossed for you and can’t wait to see your card for the next round.

CONGRATS CARLA!! Your card is amazing, but I really love your cake card too. I think you would have made it with either:) Can’t wait to see what you make for the next round!!

Well done Carla!!! Although I like the cake card, I think the card you chose was more unique. And since it got you to the top 15, I’d say you made the right choice.
Congratulations!
Comment by Patti Gingrich — July 11, 2009 @ 9:25 am
CONGRATS, both of your cards are beautiful, but if you made it to the next round than you made the right pick. I do love the blue on the card card though, but there were a few cakes in the mix.
Anywho, congrats again that’s an awesome prize!

Congratulations, Carla!! Both cards are gorgeous but I actually really love the bottom cake one…so pretty, love the bling!:)
Comment by LoriT. — July 11, 2009 @ 2:39 pm
Wow, that must have been a hard choice Carla! I love them both too. But I like the way the colors of the flowers really pop on the one you submitted..maybe that’s what caught everyone’s eye too! (I see there is another Gina posting, I may have to go by Gina H. or something so you can keep us straight!)
