New Glitterbabe Challenge

Hello again! Today is Thursday and that means we get to do new challenge at Glitterbabes Challenge Blog!! This week the challenge is to use one of two images Stef provided us and use faux stitching. This image is perfect for that challenge as there is plenty of faux stitching around the dress and heart! I think I may have failed in the Bling department! I promise to do better next week! I used Nestabilities to cut out my image and mat around it...as well as the Contemporary Heart Pendant from Nestabilities down in the corner...added a few pearls for some dimension. Please stop by the challenge blog and see what the other DT ladies created! They really did an awesome job again this week...and play along with us! We have had a great few weeks with our challenges and are looking so forward to you playing along with us! Thanks for stopping in today...I know you have many choices when you do your daily blog hopping...I am so glad that you chose to hop by to see me! Have an awesome day.

HUGS!

Friendship Warms the Heart

Hello again! Well I must be on a Friendship kick cause here is another card with that sentiment! This card was a test run using heavy weight vellum paper and nestabilities...I used the Fleur de Lis pendant...first cutting it out with plain blue paper and then cutting it out and embossing it with the heavy weight vellum...yeah...I hear ya...I am on a vellum kick lately! Anyhoooo...i used an embossing tool to go over all the areas that are white...i did not color any of that...it is the pressure of the tool on the vellum that turns it white...have to be careful though cause it is easy to poke holes in the vellum if you push too hard. The paper I used for my card is from SU...added a few sparkly embellies and done! A little simple maybe but I am finding that seems to be my style! LOL that is me...kind of a plain jane! Thanks so much for all the lovely comments yesterday...they keep me going and creating! I am off to visit each of you and thank you so much for taking the time to stop by AND leaving some love! Have a very creative day!

HUGS!

Friendship-Promise

Hello again to all my friends! Short post today...heading out of town for work so have to get moving! I am really struggling to create nowdays...my mojo has taken a path of no return it seems! Today's card was created using a Squigglefly sentiment...Frienship-Promise. The sentiment was cut out and matted using Nestabilities...I changed the color of the font in Photoshop. All my paper used on this card is from my new stash of Papertrey Ink...this color is Raspberry Fizz...isn't it fun paper? For my card I created an A2 card but cut off about 2 inches on the front flap...kind of like the way it turned out. I hope you are having an awesome day wherever you are today! I will be sure to be by and check on what you are up to later on today...thank you so much for checking in on me today!

HUGS!
