The banner is cut off when I view?!?
Posted by: Linda R | June 26, 2009 at 04:18 AM
Love your card. Very cute!
I hope it's okay to say this but the banner seems quite narrow on my screen. Might be better a little wider. Maybe?

what a wonderful card!
Posted by: Debbie | June 26, 2009 at 04:33 AM

Wow! What a fantastic card!!
Posted by: Tracey | June 26, 2009 at 04:36 AM
I didn't quite get that it was a banner...the title is definately too small.
Posted by: Karin Canazzi | June 26, 2009 at 04:43 AM
The banner is sweet and sentimental. I love the apron strings!
Posted by: Judy T | June 26, 2009 at 04:46 AM

Love your aprons! The top of your banner is cut off, is that intentional?

Love the apron and apron strings and the sentiment - guess that's why it's your favorite card, too!
Posted by: Patty | June 26, 2009 at 05:20 AM
So you are the one with that adorable apron card. I love it all to pieces. Thanks for sharing.
Posted by: Ramona West | June 26, 2009 at 05:24 AM
The banner is cut off when I view it too, but maybe because I'm on a mac. ??
This card is fantastic and makes me think of little kids. They grow up too fast!
Thanks for the chance to win!
Posted by: Kris Kilcoyne | June 26, 2009 at 05:24 AM
For one I can't see a title and then it's chopped off one of the frames...
you asked...Love your card...
Posted by: Carolyn | June 26, 2009 at 05:25 AM
i can never get tired of that card! congrats!
Posted by: carla | June 26, 2009 at 05:29 AM
The apron card is just too cute. I like your new banner - it needs one more or one less graphic to get the balance and pop from odd numbers. I absolutely love the "think fast" slogan :-D
Posted by: Lisa Wilkins | June 26, 2009 at 05:29 AM
The banner is cut off, but cute. The card, though, is GREAT!
Posted by: Beth Puckett | June 26, 2009 at 05:31 AM
fab fab fab FABO!!!!!!!!!! my very fav one :)
Posted by: Katie Squires | June 26, 2009 at 05:32 AM
The banner is really cute. I love it. But I also love your apron card very, very much...maybe one day you should make an apron banner! =)
Posted by: Amber Scurlock | June 26, 2009 at 05:52 AM
Cute card! I love the little homemade apron. If I could only sew...
Posted by: Jeni | June 26, 2009 at 05:56 AM
Can't quite make out the whole banner. I think the top is cut off on my computer. But I do love your card!!!! A fantastic idea that turned out great! Thanks for the chance to win.
Posted by: Patti Gingrich | June 26, 2009 at 05:58 AM
That apron is just awsome!
Posted by: Sara Peatross | June 26, 2009 at 06:00 AM
i LOVE pretty aprons. as soon as I got a peek at this cover - i wanted it because of this card! so cute!!!
Posted by: lisa | June 26, 2009 at 06:03 AM
Love this card! Love adding fabric to cards.
Posted by: Anya | June 26, 2009 at 06:06 AM
Great card. So reminiscent of some of my Nana's aprons. TFS
Posted by: Lesly | June 26, 2009 at 06:06 AM
I think I could look at this card 1,000 times. So no problem. Your banner is very cool. Unfortunately, after you mentioned it, I had to search for the title. It kind of gets lost with the words below it in your side bar. Maybe if you just mirror reversed it, so the title is on the other side, by itself.
Posted by: Bethany Paull | June 26, 2009 at 06:10 AM
Oh wow. It was you who made that cute card. I've been seeing it a lot of times on the Moxie Fab blog and it's really pretty.
Posted by: Gracie | June 26, 2009 at 06:11 AM
your card is so cute! love the little clothes pins holding up the apron.
This is my first time visiting your blog and your cards are great! I like your blog banner although the title is a bit small. I didn't even notice that there was a title. I love the photos off to the side!
Posted by: Brenda | June 26, 2009 at 06:16 AM
What a funny and sweet card! Love it -- congratulations on your latest publications! You blog banner...it's not appearing correctly on my screen -- I'm on IE6, not sure if that has something to do with it...but I do like the general idea... :)
Posted by: Tracey Cuccia | June 26, 2009 at 06:19 AM
Cute card! Thanks for sharing!
Posted by: laura j | June 26, 2009 at 06:22 AM
Your card is TOO cute! And it made the cover, how awesome!!
Posted by: Stephanie | June 26, 2009 at 06:26 AM
I can't see all of your banner - of what I can see-I really like the vintage frames and images.
Posted by: Erika M | June 26, 2009 at 06:30 AM
I love the banner. I would increase the font size just a touch, but it is very moxie fab!
Posted by: Katie M | June 26, 2009 at 06:30 AM
Such a cute card! Congrats on making the magazine cover!
Posted by: Cathy Green | June 26, 2009 at 06:30 AM
Heh, love the fun apron! Is your banner just the frames? It looks neat though -- weird that the top appears chopped off or am I not artistic enough to understand? ;-)
Posted by: Belinda | June 26, 2009 at 06:31 AM
Love this card! And as far as your banner - I'm viewing from a Mac and it appears that the two top frames are cut off on the top (unless they were meant to look like that). Also I would add a few more frames - like a big gallery wall - love the concept! Thanks for a chance to win! Lynn :)
Posted by: Lynn Ghahary | June 26, 2009 at 06:32 AM
Very creative banner ... congrats on being published with Paper Crafts
Posted by: Lillian Child | June 26, 2009 at 06:35 AM
