OWH Sketch #119

Whewww!  What a week!  I almost freaked out because I could not get Blogger to load after I downloaded some recommended software because of the new Blogger.  I had to uninstall that, install a newer version of Explorer, and now I am back in business.  Sounds easy, but not when you have dial-up.  If my DH cannot have cable, then I cannot have high speed internet.  I generally do not mind it except when downloading software.

Two cards to share today.  The first is using some brand new to me stuff from Basic Grey that I got from Crafty Steals.  I have been making scrap paper cards, so I made the second from my scrap pile. The paper was double-sided so that helped!

    good idea to make the second card right away - I have everything cut for my second card - but image needs to be colored. great cards. Thanks for your support of OWH

    Both of these are very nice Linda. I particularly like that you used a pattern paper for the scalloped border and to layer the sentiment in the first card. I tend to always layer in solids but I really like how this looks so I need to try it.

    That's a great sentiment for making someone smile! Cool papers too!

    I agree with Paula! I love how you used patterned paper for the scalloped border, I would have never thought of doing that and it looks great!

    Another agreement with Paula. That patterned scallop just finishes it off so well! Great cards!

    Hi Linda - I think your card came out wonderful!

    You are the second person I heard mention something about a new blogger, but I have not noticed anything new? I'm wondering what I may have missed?

    :) Sure glad you were able to get in, I guess I'll know not to add any new software. Sounds like it was a bit troublesome!!

    Thanks for sharing!
