Well, today I celebrate 1 year...it was exactly 1 year ago that I started my blog. It seems so very long ago. Check out my first post! My photography has improved, by a ton...good grief, I should have cropped that photo {sigh}. What a wonderful journey it has been and continues to be. I have "met" the most wonderful friends...people that share the passion that I so enjoy...being creative. I actually have met Carolina...at a Copic class. I've also had the recent pleasure of meeting Pam {SCS dacpam}...then there's Jennifer Pebbles..prior to blogging I met Julie Ebersole and Novell. Everyone is beyond kind, fun and fabulous...that seems to be the requirement if you are creative :) The crafting/creative blogging community is sooo welcoming and comfortable to be a part of. I'm sooo very glad that I took the plunge last year...I had tried a couple times to start a blog and for whatever reason, I eventually managed to start this one. I'm so not techie but thanks to peeps like Allison, I'm learning new things. Thanks for being a part of this journey with me...If you haven't yet, please check out my Blog*iversary Blog Candy...
On to my card...I cased myself! I took my Bowlin Butterfly card and used Basic Grey's Perhaps dp. Isn't it amazing how much of an impact dp can have on a card? I don't know if you can tell by the photo but I used the Stampin' Up! "embrace life" sentiment in the lower right hand corner {via versafine vintage sepia}. This has gone postal to a tropical island for a gal that is celebrating her birthday this week...tropical island...boy that sounds good.
Check out the FABulous Halloween RAK that I received from the most magnificent Carla over at Paper Pastorale! She makes me feel like the lazy stamper that I am...check out all the LAYERS and embellies! Yes, that would be mummies on the black ribon...lol...
Thanks Carla...I truly LOVE it...it is quite the treasure and frankly, I plan on popping it into a shadow box and it'll be coming out every Halloween!
Remember, the blog candy will be open until Friday, November 7th until midnite.
Have a super Thursday!!!
