So.
I tell you this story so you can have a little bit of a laugh at my expense. I made the above card the other day with the new "Sweet Strawberry" set and matching pumch. And I was pretty happy with it... so I posted it to my various social media accounts... Instagram, my Facebook business page as well as my Private Facebook group. After I had done this I proudly showed the card to my husband as he likes cards with brighter colours. I was sure he would like it. He did like it but he also looked a bit confused. He asked what kind of fruit was on the card.... and I told him that they were strawberries of course. To which he replied... "but aren't they upside down?"
Uh oh! The second he said it I knew he was right and realised my mistake. But in the short time the cards had been posted online I had already had quite a lot of favourable responses - likes, comments and such. I thought about taking them down and reposting it, but engagement is engagement and always positive. So instead I elected to post the second card (with the strawberries right side up) and explain my mistake.
It seems that a lot of people not only saw the funny side, but related to my story. I guess we have all made mistakes sometimes. And thats ok! Not only does it prove we are human, but its good to laugh at ourselves sometimes. Life is too short to be serious all the time right!?
Here is the card showing the strawberries as they SHOULD be. But it turns out that if you change the colours and turn the strawberry upside down... this stamp and matching punch makes a pretty good pear!

If you stamped them in shades of brown, they would look like the fruit of a "Hershey kiss" tree! Something fun for valentines day. Hee hee.
How funny, Linda! It sounds like something I would do, especially recently! Thanks for sharing!
