make Anything But A Card. The other day I was visiting one of my absolutely favorite blogs, Pink Lemonade by Kerri Lee Sereika. She was the guest blogger for JustRite Stampers last week and made THIS absolutely beautiful Coronet. I just knew I wanted to try it even though I stink at flower arrangements.I know the pictures aren't that good but even Todd likes this one. I used one of the pieces of designer series paper from the Autumn Vine paper pack from Stampin' Up! (in the Holiday Mini). I followed the directions as Keri wrote them (but, of course, it took me quite a few times to roll the paper correctly). I went to my dollar tree and got some flowers (which look better IRL too!) but they had nothing like Keri's so I had to improvise a little. I used SU!'s retired Whimsical Alphabet to stamp "welcome". It is stamped on a white top note (cut by my Big
Shot and distressed with some Tim Holtz distressing ink) that was then cut down to layer on a more mustard top note. I used some more mustard grosgrain ribbon to attach my sign around to the back. After which I made a little hanger from another piece of grosgrain ribbon.While it doesn't hang straight it is still pretty and I'm very pleased with my results. So, what do ya think? Kinda a neato project yes? If you try this or any other anything but a card projects post them on your blog or upload them to SCS with the keyword CBCC#8 then link them back to Courtney's blog HERE for a chance to win a little something from Courtney!

This is great!!! I had some issues getting my coronet to stay straight...I adjusted the "levelness" of my ribbon and use two thumb tacks to hang it and voila!!! It now hangs straight!
Thank you Lorie for sending me the link to yours! You make me proud!
