You're One of My Nicest Thoughts

Here's a card I made just because. I really like the emboss resist technique on glossy paper.

I embossed the butterflies with clear embossing powder from SU! and then sponged ink over the glossy cardstock. I cut out the butterfly 3 times and glued the middle down to the card and added pearls. Hope everybody had a great weekend!

Norm's News

I had a piece of October Afternoon paper that I figured it was about time to use (called Norm's News). So I made two cards with it. The first one is for the CardPatterns Sketch #78

The second card is just with some leftovers I had laying around.

So, I have a little computer update for you. I was using my "back-up" laptop and getting used to it...when I tripped over the cord and it took a fall. It landed on nice soft carpet...I thought it would be okay. It wasn't. It really, really wasn't. So I bought a USB wifi connector, and for now it's working. Yea! So my posts *should* be more regular again (although every time I say that, something happens!) :)

FWF/Addicts Challenge

My card today is from the Unity Addicts challenge, to make a black and white card with a pop of color. I'll keep my post nice and short today. My creativity has apparently gone on vacation (and forgot to take me with it!).

I used the Unity stamps Giving It All Meaning and Sending My Love.

The Card that Took FOR-EVER

This was just one of those cards where nothing seemed to go right. I really liked how the paper pieced mom and baby turned out. I also liked the scallop on the side. But I just couldn't figure out how to finish it off. I wish that I would have left the sentiment on the bottom completely off and just put something on the inside of the card. Without the sentiment, it just looked unfinished to me. But in the end, it probably did look better without it. Sometimes, I tend to overthink things. Then I had an awful time getting a good picture of the card. It was cloudy and overcast all day and the textured cardstock didn't seem to photograph well either. I finally gave up and I've done my best to edit it so it looks...well at least viewable, I guess.

Surprise, surprise, another baby card, right?? :) (Nope, still not hinting at anything!)

Hope everybody is having a great week!

Computer Problems!

I've been having some problems with my computer lately, which has stopped me from posting anything. The wireless card in my laptop just up and quit working. Grrr. Tech support says that they are aware of the problem with that model of laptop, and it would cost $250 to fix it (the laptop was only $300). Grrr (again). So I have to be connected to the dsl modem now to do anything online (which, of course, is in another room and there's nowhere in my craft room to plug it in at). So, I have an old laptop that takes me about an hour to upload and create blog posts on...which means my posting will be sporadic at best until I figure something out! Anyway, after a lot of frustration, I finally have this blog post done!Here is the card I created for the Limelight sketch challenge.

Hopefully I will have another post for you soon!
