I have decided that Mandi and Chrissy from LIM must have shares in the card companies cos their challenges mean that so many of my efforts end up in the bin!
And who thought of stripes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
After discovering I don't have anything stripey in a way of stamp. In the end I've used a ruler, dunked it in the inkpad and stamped it but while lifting up I pulled it up so my lines are distressed.
Instead of using distress ink pads I've actually used stamping up inkpad So Saffron and Old Olive with a touch of Soft Suede and I used the foliage set from them too.
The sentiment is Penny Black, seeing has its nice and grungy it would make a decent mans card.

oh so different for you Debby! but it is beautiful!
One thing is that when you're searching for a student loan you may find that you will need a cosigner. There are many circumstances where this is true because you could find that you do not have a past credit rating so the loan provider will require that you have someone cosign the borrowed funds for you. Thanks for your post.
