Embellish Magazine "Paper Piecing Color Challange"

Here's my take on the color challenge. The photograph is a little drab looking from late night picture taking unfortunately and the detail on the dark brown dog doesn't show. I used all PTI paper and ribbon and the dog walking stamp is from My Favorite Things, the sentiment, circle and tiny flower are stamps from PTI. Thanks for visiting my blog, have a good day!

Embellish "Inchies"

This is my second card using these colors; the first one didn't use any sqares, but I liked the color combo so much, I thought I'd do another. I used PTI and Bazill paper, some little purple flowers I've had for ages, a PTI sentiment stamp and Martha Stewart leaf punches. I cut the squares out on the Cricut. On the leaf card, I used all PTI paper and a brass leaf that I embossed in the Cuttlebug. I spritzed the paper with water first and I love how it turned out. How does Melissa Phillips get her seam binding to look so perfect? I struggled...

For some reason I've had problems getting my computer to upload photos from my camera, so I had to start using a card reader and then last night, even the card reader couldn't be uploaded? ?? Frustrating when you are technologically-challenged. But this morning, it works again.

I found a fantastic music site yesterday "Live From Daryl's House". Daryl as in Daryl Hall. He has guest musicians come to his house and they play together - everyone from Train to Billy Ocean. Absolutely fantastic music and fun to watch!

Embellish the Cure with Bling Challenge

I saw the June Bride broach - had to have it - and ordered a few more (again) for Christmas presents! Love them! What a cool building in the photograph. I used PTI cardstock, Martha Stewart flowers and bling and a Fiskars border punch. I used the computer to print Happy Birthday onto the cardstock. This ones going to my mother-in-law for her 89th BD on Nov. 1st.

Happy World Card Making Day!

Good morning! Here's a card I made to celebrate World Card Making Day. There's many other things I should be doing right now, but here I am still in my pyjamas making a card! I do have my priorities. I am also making this card for the Embellish challenge; first time I've tried a round card. I had to take a little sliver off the bottom to get it to keep from rolling off the table. The sentiment was printed on the computer. Inside the card reads, "A traveller without observation is a bird without wings" Moslih Eddin Saadi. I'm going to give this to my daughter before she heads out to Berlin, Prague and Vienna at the end of the month. She loves to travel! Have a great day everyone.

Edited: After seeing the tutorial on making circle cards, I made another base and I'm much happier with the result. Thanks for the tutorial!

Paper: PTI
Stamp: PTI Background Text and Modern Division by Postmodern Designs

(Embellish Magazine)

I'm looking forward to seeing the first issue of this new idea from Ashley! I've used paper from PTI and SEI. The sentiment is from SEI and the flower shape is by Spellbinders. I used PTI Damask set with Versamark as a background on the brown layer. The twine is from PTI as well. The little star button and tiny rhinestones are from the $ store.
