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???

sorry you didn't make 2s4y, I'm sure its in your future one of these days.
Love the pink chandelier card! What more can I say? I'm also a chandie fan! :D
Wow, I can only imagine opening the mail and seeing that gorgeous card!
What an amazing card surprise you got in the mail. WOW!!! ♥♥ Kay
Keep trying though, cuz I am sure you will get in with your great designs.
Love your card especially that lollipop flower. I need to try making a few of those babies.
It is always a pleasure to stop by and read your blog ~ I can always find some much needed inspiration.

(Makes me tired just thinkin' about that level of enthusiasm. Maybe I'll just go take a nap.)

Hope you are well, HuGs Kim :)
But, I recently noticed that they sell $0.64 stamps now, so I just bought a bunch of them to mail cards.
that is a fabby card from your bloggy friend!
i feel your pain about the post office. i always have to go with my 'game face' on since its always a HORRIBLE experience. really low expectations help me make it out of there without totally ripping into people.
ok, so i saw the new DT list over at 2s4y and i LOVE all of those peeps...but now that i know *YOU* applied i am just mystified, particularly looking at this glorious corky, velvetty, lollipop-flowery, pom-pom-infused, stitchy MASTERPIECE!!!!!! *HOW* did this not shoot to #1 with a bullet??!?! we're talkin' serious miscarriage of crafty justice! (want me to go rough 'em up for ya??!) ;)
Lucky you getting Lauren's most magnificent birdcage card!!
Um yeah...I have something that should have gone in the mail to you looooong ago, but you know...life-n-stuff. sorry.
