Last challenge

Hey everyone, well this card is the one I made for the final challenge for stamping bella. They are looking for a new sistah and I have been submitting faithfully every week but when you see the cards I am up against I ain't holding my breath! Anyways, thought if I was gonna have any chance at all I might as well go full force and just put on my card that I think they should pick me. Didn't notice til now that you can see the top of the stand where I take my pictures and that it is a little blurry. May need to get a tripod and see if that helps as I have a really good camera. It couldn't possibly be the operator could it?

Enjoy your day!

Me too!

Another post today, I am on a roll! Kinda sad that is considered exciting news ha ha! Anyways, made this card for a friend who wanted to know why she hadn't gotten a card yet. I try to make a birthday card for most of the girls in the office where I work and so I told her it wasn't her birthday yet so she hadn't gotten a card yet. Well, she is leaving in a couple of weeks, moving down south with the hubby to be closer to his job, so I made her this card using a mo manning image. I thought the image and saying were perfect for someone "wanting a card too!" Actually, I was tickled pink to have someone think enough of my work to actually ask for a card. Makes me feel pretty darn good I have to say. Then to top things off, one of the other girls gave me my first "commission". I am actually doing it for free cause it is for another girl who is retiring but still to be asked makes ya feel pretty darn good! Okee dokee, enjoy your weekend!

CHOICES PART 2

Okay, this is the second shot and fiddling with the photo software so let me upload this and see if there is a difference between the two.

CHOICES, CHOICES

Hey everyone, I took two pictures of the same card and have playing around with them in my Picasa photo editing program so I wanted to upload both and see if it made any difference. I can't really tell on the program itself. So this is card number one. I used a stamp from lili of the valley, colored in copics with some shimmerz (thanks lynn!) and stickles for some bling. Have to load the second one so will be back in a second.

There is some great blog candy out there folks! This is just half of the blog candy from http://athousandsheetsofpaper.blogspot.com. The other half is, 1000 sheets of paper! I have to tell you, people are becoming so generous anymore that it makes me happy just thinking about how life is good if only people try to take time to see the good parts and not dwell on the bad times. Anyways, pop over and leave her a comment. Someone has to win, right? Might as well be us!!!

Fabulous blog candy!

Hey everyone, my friend Vanessa (hey girl!) sent me a link to a great blog with some spectacular blog candy. I can't seem to figure out how to post the picture on my blog but here is the link http://www.kelliewinnell.com.au This is some of the most generous blog candy I have ever seen. Good luck!

This is my next stamping bella card for the friday challenge. This didn't come out very clear for some reason, just don't know what I am doing wrong. Maybe I am more shaky than I think but the card looks good until I put it into my picasa program and blog it. Technology talented I am not! Anyways, this is a stamp called Izzie has a daisy. I went back to my copics as I seem to be able to blend better with them. The background papers are memory box "enchanted" and I use a spellbinders fleur de lis die for the diamond shape. I stitched around the edges and applied some bling in the corners cause it needed a little somethin somethin. Her hairband I did first with a black sakura glaze pen but that didn't turn out so well so I covered it up with some viva decor pearl pen paint and it looks better, even a little dimensional. There is a chalked color to the background of the image, a pale lavender with a slight pearlescence to it, but of course it didn't show up either! That camera and I are gonna have a talking too! Ok, that is it for now, enjoy the rest of your weekend. I have had my nap and tonite is the Next Food Network Star finale so I should be good to go!
