PTI Bouquet of Flowers

Hi Everyone,

This card is in response to the challenge to make a card creating a floral bouquet from different stamp sets. The roses are from Rosie Posie, the tulip is from the Floral Fusion #11 set, and the other flowers and the sentiment are from the Daydreamer set.

Enjoy!

Blue Sky

Hi Everyone,

This card is in response to the PTI challenge for a blue ombre card. I used SU Night of Navy, PTI Blueberry Sky and Spring Rain for the background. Then I used Reason to Smile for the flowers and some old cloud dies that I had from PTI. I am actually pleased with the result.

Enjoy!

Corner Design

Hi Everyone,

This card is for the MIM at PTI for this week. It featured a card with a design in the corner, rather than centering the design. Since I'm in a rather laconic mood, I'll keep this short.

Enjoy!

Missed Deadline

Hi Everyone,

Here is a card I had made for Kara's celebration for 200 weeks on Pinterest. It was immediately after taking this picture that my camera died, and I didn't realize that it had taken this picture okay. So I'll post it anyway..........

Anyway, I am borrowing a camera for a short while, but in the meantime, I'm looking online for cameras. I found
this one which looks absolutely amazing. Does anyone have one like this? It's been out for a year, and luckily the price has dropped a bit. I have an old fashioned phone since I have an iPad, I don't really feel like I need an iPhone or anything similar, but this camera does everything an iPhone does except make calls. Interesting.

It would be great to send photos immediately from the camera to the blog, but I am not sure how you would put your signature block onto the picture. Otherwise, to eliminate the step of entering it into Gimp would be a real plus.

Enjoy!

PTI Make It Monday January 2015

Hi Everyone,

Here is my card for the Make it Monday challenge at PTI. I chose Lauren Bassen's technique of emboss resist (video #179). There were a few others I would have liked to try, especially Ashley's Stamping a Plaid background and Dawn's Glittered Frames. Maybe if they have another contest, those are the ones I'll do. In the meantime, this was kind of a fun challenge. It took a few tries, and even then, not exactly perfection, but I still learned something. I made a template using the Center Stage cover plate. The other elements are from the Beautiful Brushstrokes stamps and dies sets.

Enjoy!

OWH BLOGHOP 2014

Hi Everyone,

Here are the best cards that I made this year. Although I made hundreds, I don't always post them because I just don't take the time to upload them. I should make more of an effort to post more often--maybe that could be one of my New Years resolutions--one of many!

Last Day of 2014

Hi Everyone,

Here is my Christmas card, which I didn't want to post until after Christmas and all the cards had been sent out and received. I can't take any credit for the design of this, as it was CASED from a YouTube video from Nichol Magouirk. She has the best ideas.

Enjoy!
