Good Thursday Morning!!!!

Today is my day over at 365 Cards and Pam's Challenge is:

DIY-Computer Generated

Make it the sentiment, the background, or a single image - as long as you make it computer generated.

One would think that with all the time {hours and hours} that I spend on the computer that I would be a smidge techie....nope. I leave all that to 'd'. Here's the thing, I work on one of those cute netbooks, actually just got it earlier this year. My free MS Word has expired so I was trying to figure out how I was going to tackle this challenge. I actually ended up just printing out the sentiment via the "notepad" feature...

Okay, you were waiting for it right? In my true form the top card with the pom poms was my tweaked version of this card:

What I typically do is finish a card...run downstairs to the old photo studio {bahaha..in my bedroom} and then upload the card onto my computer...then into my blog. I review it and then make changes if I want to. I'm all for clean and crisp but the sweet Hero Arts Japanese Doll seemed to be positioned too high on my square Fabriano. That's why I added the smidge of black pom pom's {I'm sure that you've noticed that I can't get enough of the stuff...}...it was a good way to anchor the paper pieced {with BG Urban Prairie} image. I added the kaiser flower shaped bling to her mini banner.

This card has already gone postal to my cousin. She is teaching my kidlets Japanese this summer. I know why my kids are so motivated to learn...they want to know what my Mom & I are talking about when we starting flinging out Japanese words...LOL. BTW, my cousin is crafty too!!!! Check out her fabbie etsy shop:

She still has some of her Basic Grey Urban Couture business card holders...they rock! They make a great gift for a crafty peep.

Okay, show me what you got...
