Card Mistake...but turned out ok

Good morning! Well I am in my 3rd day of being off work and am loving every minute of it! My card stash is growing and I am a happy camper to be able to play to my hearts content! Sometimes though, playing gets a little frustrating for me when things don't quite turn out as I had planned...today's card is an example of that. I was attempting to make a small card with the largest of the Eyelet Squares Nestabilites...unfortunately, the card stock I used (Gina K Pure Luxury) was toooooooo thick to cut through! So, I ended up with a card that actually had a "lift up flap". I know no other way to describe it! LOL I can get myself into some crazy situations. However, rather than throw away that awesome paper, I decided to try to make the best of it. I stamped my image using some stamps from Close to My Heart that my friend Stef had given to me...matted it onto an Eyelet Square, bordered it in red with an Inverted Scalloped Square Nestie. I really like how it turned out....added some glitter to 1/2 inch Scor Pal tape and voila...a rather "different card. Here is the inside:

Nothing fancy at all but kind of different...I just didn't want to waste my cardstock! Hope you like...let me know what you think. I hope all of you have a blessed day today...I am hoping to see my grandbabies today after church so won't have much play time today. Thanks for stopping in to see me!

HUGS!

New Image from Glitterbabe!

Hello! I am sorry for the long absence...I didn't get back here as I had planned. Work has been very very challenging and hard for me over the last 8 months...I find it harder and harder to get creative time. HOWEVER, starting today, I am off work until November 29!!!! I am so pleased to be able to sit and play. Today I made 4 new cards...and the one I am showing you today is one of them. My image is from the one and only GLITTERBABE! It is one of her newest releases and I am LOVING it. The image is called Silhouette Flower. It is actually only one flower...I took it into photoshop and added another flower and some shadowing. Stef just has a way with flowers, and this one spoke to me immediately. Please stop by Glitterbabe's shop...I especially like that you get a colored image along with your black and white one!  I have a few other ideas for the image I used today too so you will be seeing me use it again. I used some of my new nestabilities with this card...specifically the Beaded Ovals...along with the regular and scalloped ovals. The black paper that I used on this card is to die for...it from Pizzazz Aplenty and it is as smooth as silk! The lace and the pearls are also a product from Pizzazz Aplenty...believe me, you do not know what you are missing out on if you don't pay Judy a visit...she has been adding new product weekly and she always has weekly freebies to add to your order if it meets the requirements. Well I am done for today, need to take a break from creating and spend some time with my hubby! Love you all for sticking with me...hope your day was beautiful!

HUGS!
