Hello!!!!
Happy Tuesday...the week is rolling on by, hard to believe that it is already November!
As I mentioned yesterday, I'll be sharing my takes on Laura and Kazan's DT call sketches. I couldn't be more happy with the new DT picks...they certainly created fabulously inspiring cards!!!
Surprisingly, when I first saw Kazan's sketch it had me stumped...but I ended up having a ball with it...
I incorporated a couple things that I love...poms, lollipop flowers and alpha letters! All the paper is MME...love the lanterns...sooo fun! The cork coaster is from the T $ spot. The alpha is MM velvet...mmmm...velvet. The poms are from my dear friend Susan...she was so sweet to give me a bag of goodies when she stayed with me a couple months ago..
You might not be able to tell but each of the panels are stitched...even that narrow green polka dotted one...did I mention that it is narrow...it's all I can do to keep calm and stitch straight!No glitz or glam on this card...just pure fun and cute, well, I think so anyways...I made the card to reflect my style AND had fun doing it! Tomorrow I'll share my card based on Laura's sketch
Okay, onto some happy mail:
Yes, I know! Sweet Mother of Pearl is right....I received this oh-so-lovely card from the oh-so-lovely
I 'met' her through Caardvarks and life has never been the same..LOL. She is filled with the energy and enthusiasm of 20 crafters...seriously...I love it when she stops by my blog...now that my friend, is blog love.
The photos cannot truly capture the beauty of this card...it is truly a treasure...Thanks sooo much Lauren....you my dear, are a gem.
If you haven't noticed, this week I'm trying to be better about sharing my RAKs...I have a BUNCH of fabbie birthday RAKs that I'll slowly share...it's soooo much fun to receive stuff from other bloggers...I appreciate all their hard work on their cards/projects and heck, taking the time to go to the post office...sheesh, it's a miracle if I:
1. make a flat non-bumpy card
2. have stamps on hand
3. get to the post office
Is it just me or is the post office ALWAYS busy...the person in line behind me always intrudes on my personal space and during the 'lunch hour' there only seems to be 2 people working the counter???
