celebrate new beginnings...

Hello...gotta tell you, it seems weird to not be posting a Jacksonbelle card...

I couldn't stand it so I actually made a card using the last goodies I purchased from the JBelle shop: Pink Paislee

The sentiment is by EAD, it's their Birthday Sentiments Stickerz designed by Lindsay Spencer:)

I was inspired by the Card Patterns sketch 71...gotta love their new Design Team!

Well, it is back to work for me...that's coolio...I'm thankful for my job.

I'll be back later tonight at 9 pm pst with my Whimsy Haven post...I'll be posting on the Whimsy Haven Blog tonight too!!!

p.s. anyone else having commenting issues with blogger? I noticed this morning that my blog was giving a "Your comment will be visible after approval" message...grrr...don't know how that happened since I didn't change my settings. It looks like I fixed that....but all my comments seem to be going into la-la land...I get the email notification but they aren't posting to my various blog posts....help!

**looks like blogger is slowly getting fixed...although the comment 'count' is off, when you click on the actual comment linkie, it shows the true number of comments posted*** thanks to the fabbie allison fillo for the heads up that it was a problem that several bloggers are dealing with:)

Grrr....it seems I've lost a bunch of comments from my Sunday post...sigh.

I love your card. Great orange/kraft combo. That sketch is totally calling to me too! lol.

I just saw your spam stinks logo in your side bar. I think that is great. It really slows me down to leave comments when people have those on their blogs to word verify. eh. I turned mine off awhile ago and only got spam'd once in like months. I don't think thats so bad.

I'm thankful for my job too :? Helps support this habit of mine. Anywho, your card is awesome, love all the orange, especially since orange kind of scares me when I use it.
Dora said…
baeautiful and you can see the summer in this card!
Michele Gross said…
Orange creamcicles...yu-uuuuuumy! One of my most favorite summer treats :) Blogger has been weird the last day or two. I received several comments on one of my posts yesterday but the count on my bog showed 1 comment! However, when I clicked on the comment to see it, all the comments I received were still there. somehow, just not registering in the count. Very very strange!!
Tina said…
What a fun card, the pop of color is astounding.
Heather Rogers said…
Fab card Amy! Thanks for playing again at Card Patterns. :)

I have heard a lot of people saying they have had comment issues. I haven't noticed that problem but I do have a few others. They need to go back to the old way. :)
Cindy Lee said…
I had the same issue too. Luckily they solved the next day.

Fabbie card! I always wondered where did you get all that time to craft??
Kay said…
Orange sherbet popsicles. Yum, yum!!! I like the craft paper base with these papers. Those orange buttons look like hard candy to me. This is adorable!! ♥♥Kay

I haven't had any problems with blogger. I'm glad that hopefully yours is no longer. Great card. Love all that yummy orange!
