Paper Pretties #260 - Embossing challenge / Where flowers bloom

Wednesday May 29, 2013

 

Well I am still recovering from surgery from two weeks ago and it completely slipped my mind that I needed to load my card tonight for my post tomorrow. Guess better to realize it tonight than tomorrow morning and at least I got it made.. now how could I forget that? but I did..   Being on medication really can mess with the mind.  Surprised my card came out as good as it did..LOL 

 

Today we have a new release at Paper Pretties, this is BUBBALOO  What a party animal huh??

 

This is my card for #260 challenge this week which is EMBOSSING.. I thought it best that I should not handle a heat tool at this time so went I for the dry embossing and embossed most of the card. I do love the embossing folders and there are so many cool ones out there and really makes a statement. I hope you play along at Paper Pretties and enter your embossed cards/project. I used BLOSSOM  a digi for my image. I keep finding a neighbors cat in my garlic beds and really wish they wouldn't do that but now that the leaves are up more they don't have room.

Paper Pretties #259 / Use Your Favorite Stamp- Happy Birdie

Wednesday May 22, 2013

 

Wednesday is new challenge day at Paper Pretties  #259 USE YOUR FAVORITE STAMP and also new release day. Today we have FEATHER as the new release. Cute huh?

 

 So today I chose to use as a favorite stamp this RIGHT ON PAR by of course Paper Pretties, it was hard to choose as there are so many wonderful stamps and digi's but figured with fathers day coming and my brothers birthday and he loves to play golf this would be perfect card for his birthday. I really like how this card came out. I have a punch which is just a series of holes in a row. I got it super cheap and have wondered why did I buy this? It's worthless so I took it out and punched these 3 circles over on the left side of the brown. I like the size of the circles and I like the touch with out bling as it needed something over there. Do you ever have tools you don't know why you bought other than they were cheap and haven't used?  I am sure I am not the only one out here that does that.

Make It Monday #141 - open
One Stop Craft #229 - anything goes
Bearly Mine - anything goes
Shopping Our Stash #102 - what's in your tool shed (row of holes punch)
