Embellish The Cure with Bling!

This is my very first challenge entry! Weee!!!

Ashley Newell of Embellish Magazine challenges everyone to get crafty with PINK, GREY and FUSCHIA. Oh and don't forget the BLING! Since this is my very first challenge, it was really nice that Ms Ashley gave her readers some direction (cuz I NEEDED it! lol). It was a a whole lot easier when she posted Rasperry Fizz, Sweet Blush and Smokey Shadow as examples of the color challenge hues. All I had to do was go through my PTI file drawer and off to creating I went! Yayy!!

I used Mojo Monday's Sketch 109 for inspiration. I tweaked it a bit, just to challenge myself even more. ;) Used Labels One Nestie with the Rasp Fizz, ran it through the CB with the Textile folder, lightly rubbed white ink over it (to emphasize the embossing), popped the layer up with some dots for dimension and used 3 Prima flowers as the focal image. I didn't have rhinestones (for the bling part of the challenge) so I used clear dew drops as the flower center and alongside the sentiment.

This was so much fun! I hope you likey. :)

Don'cha just love the fall??

Hey everyone!

Fall has finally come! I just love love love it when the temp dips to the mid 60's. I get to wear those cardigans I've pushed to the back of the closet, head out to a local shoppe and have a warm cup of cocoa. Yum! :)

I picked up a fall stamp set from Mike's recently and have been inking away! It believe it's called the Autumn Greetings set by Inkadinkadoo. It has 4 images and 2 sentiments. I will be sharing two cards today. For the first card, I used the sentiment "Autumn Greetings" and one of two pumpkin images. I just love the swirly vines on this one! :)

On this second card, I used the same swirly pumpkin image but only stamped the swirly parts to frame the sentiment, "Fall is when nature turns to gold." I was trying to be "crafty" (hee!) and I think it turned out okay. :)

I also got to use my new EK Success Morocco Lace border punch on both cards. It's simply stunning!

That's it for now. I hope everyone enjoys the rest of the week! :)

Tis the season of change.

HELLO!!!

To my friends who've asked about my blog.. yes, I have changed the format. I am now dedicating my small slice of cyber space to everything handcrafted! (yay!!!!) For the past few months, I've rediscovered my love for making cards, crafts and things. I must say it's been so much fun! Life has been a little 'too' stressful and this has definitely kept me sane!

So, to my dear dear friends and hopefully new blog peeps!, I welcome you and I hope you enjoy what you see. :)
