How Many Times Have I Told YOU??

Did your parents ever say that to you? How many times have you said it to your own children? Do we I ever eventually learn from our my mistakes?

I'm linking today's card up to Darnell's April Fools Day Big Fat Boo Boo!

I know we've all done it before, but how many times I've done it, I can't even count!
I put the front panel of my card on upside down!

And truth be told, this probably won't be the last time I do it either.

This is much better!

Have fun on Darnell's Blog Hop!
And... Happy April Fools!

Thanks so much for stopping by! Blessings~ Birgit

Oh yes, that upside down panel is probably a permanent part of my card-making repertoire by now but your corrected version is just gorgeous!! So all's well that ends well, right?

Yep, lost count how many times I've done that one! I just cut the front off and adhere it to another card base . . . job done (I never learn either!) LOL Good job we can all laugh at our boo boo's though, isn't it? Have a lovely weekend! Hazel xx

What a lovely card! Glad you could save it :)

Karren said...

Ha ha hilarious! And yes, I'm sure we've all done it (more than once, too!) Your card is beautiful whichever way you look at it :)

TK said...

Hilarious! I can't say I have done this one, but we all done something just boo-boo-licious!

shirley-bee said...

Been there, done that!

Oh, yes, I heard and said that very thing! I often wonder what non-card-making friends must think when they get a card from me that has about four same-sized layers on the front and the back is all flimsy so there is no way the card can stand up! But, hey, we put too much work into our cards ~ especially a card front that's as beautiful as what you've made here, Birgit ~ not to make it work even if it end up unbalanced! (In truth, one time I had boobooed three times so I actually had to add another layer of white to the inside back to give it a little stability!)

Sorry I didn't get to you yesterday. Half-way through the day I got the Blue Screen of Death from Microsoft and it took all day to scrub the computer clean and it wasn't cheap either! I kept hoping it was all an April Fool's joke, but alas, it wasn't. Thank you for being such a good sport and playing in my first BFCBB Hop!! Hugs, Darnell

Oh ya! Happens very often to me. Your card is lovely!!

Helen F. said...

Oh yeah! Made this boo boo lots of times, Birgit! And, you WOULD think, I could remember to check before gluing the next time? :-)

I do this more than I care to admit. But I am glad you were able to switch yours over to the card base correctly. It is a beautiful card.

Great to know that we're in good company with the upside down, topsy-turvey sentiments (or in my case, entire panel). Talk about a gorgeous card...no matter what direction your sentiment is oriented! Thanks for sharing your smile-making oopsie!

You can be lucky to approve your upside down mistake. :-) The card is fabulous. Superb colours.

Lorraine said...

Glad you were able to right it - it's beautiful.

Cara said...

Yep, been there, done that. It is a fab card though, whichever way up you look at it! Cara x

Colleen said...

Oh YES! Can totally relate to this faux pas!! But I love your fixed and finished card!!

JD/ Jill said...

Beautiful card! And yes, I have done this same thing many times. Thanks for sharing.

This is me! So I cut the panel off, use the back piece for something else and attach a two-layer front panel to a new cardbase, praying it's not going to affect postage!
