New Card - Late Post

Archiver's has a Make-n-Take weekend through Sunday. Go and make the card and 8x8 page layout. They also offer a cute mini book. This is the card they offered. I'm going to show it on Saturday using SU products.

I used chalk inks on the stamped images, versamark on the swirls on the cover and Black dye ink on the sentiment. the stamped images are punched with a 1.25 inch square punch and the large square window was cut using the new Epix. Some rhinestones added a bit of bling for this cute A2 sized card.

Check tomorrow to see how I changed it to SU style!!

I won!!!

I found Melany's blog on the recent Royal Blog Tour. She set a personal challenge to post everyday for a week. If we posted a comment 5 of the 7 days, we would be entered in a drawing - my name was pulled and this is what I won - I am so excited!!!! I needed a pick-me-up today!!

I wanted to show how I used a previous card layout to plan the card I created for my daughter. With just a few changes to a layout it can be a different card.

I started with this card on the left and by changing the color combo, matchbox die cut shape and DSP, I came up with the card on the right. Creating a card layout can be challenging but if you can start with a card you've seen or made previously, it can help get your "mojo" going!

No Post today!

My first full day off in over two weeks!! I went out with one of my son's last night, just the two of us, no siblings and we had a blast!! Today's plans include bowling with my high schooler's friends and swimming with my middle schooler's friends.....hopefully a nap for mom. See everyone tomorrow!!
