Here's my card:

I changed a few things around but I'm not sure the end result is what I was looking for.  I like it but it's not a favorite of mine.  I think perhaps it's too plain.  Hmm...

OK!  I finally had a few minutes to be creative.  Today's card comes from the "Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge" blog.  Yes, I know it's not Monday BUT there are so many wonderful sketches on there that I figured I'd try one out today anyway!  
I was having a hard time choosing which sketch to use so I decided I'd use my wedding anniversary date.  My anniversary just so happened to be on a Monday this year!
I love it!

Today's card will be delayed until a little later this morning/early afternoon.  My son has orientation for the Middle College today and my daughter will be attending her first day of College so I needed to be up earlier than usual.   I'm sure after they get home we will need to go buy more supplies. I promise I won't make you wait too awful long!

Fun with Punches!

Hello!

DSP:  Twitterpated

Stamp:  Quint-essential Flower

Tools:  2 3/8" Scallop Punch, 1 3/4" Scallop Punch, 1" Circle Punch, 3/4" Circle Punch, 1/2" Circle Punch, Curly Label Punch, Decorative Label Punch, Large Scallop Edgelit, Paper Trimmer, SNAIL, Stampin' Dimensionals
