A CAS card maker I am not, but I am always up for a good challenge! This card is based upon a birthday card by Christina Kowalczyk featured in March 2011 Cards magazine, page 111. I have been wanting to case it for quite some time.
My best investment ever was my inchie punch. It is my all time fav punch and so versatile. I had made this card earlier this week using some K&Company Americana paper. The rest is from my scrap pile. No, the pile does not appear to be getting any smaller...
I finished my Thinking of You card. I used my sewing machine to punch the holes for some hand stitching. I thought it needed a little something in addition to the knots I made for the berries. It is not perfect but it is "homey" with a wintertime feel.
My card for Sketch Challenge #82 drained all my mojo. When I thought I had it done I discovered that it was upside down on the card base! OMG! and this is suppose to help me unwind? This one was a tussle all the way through even though I love love love this sketch and plan to try another card in the near future. I do need to set aside some time to reorganize my supplies which is not as fun or relaxing.
Congrats to Ciara for becoming a soldier! In her honor I chose this cute free digi from Slieje for my card. The link to this digi is http://sliekje.blogspot.com/2010/07/puppy-mail.html. If you like this digi you should check it out! I am still trying to use only scraps for most of my cards and did make the sentiment using the computer.
I have missed the blogging world! Been super busy as one of a team of family members taking care of my mother as she recovers from a broken hip. It has been quite a journey.
