Besties

I was inspired today to create this card by Sketch Saturday-Jessica Fick. I found Nana's Kids stack in the "scrapshed" and think the papers really inspired me to go "girly". The image reminded me of my sweet dear friend Kathy. I have never done a bunting by hand-bit challenging for me. I also busted out my old Fiskers paper edgers and chose to "old school" it a bit (while listening to 70s hits music :), and even did some hand stitching. It was a fun day!

Recipe: Image-Mabelle Ro; Nana's kids paper; Doodlebug-mini jewels; trims-LSS; Bazzill CS; Copics.

Looks alot like Christmas

Had a cup of coffee, shopped at Mo's, colored, made iced coffee, shopped at my LSS, colored some more (which is now my favoritest thing to do), cut, more iced coffee, shaped my pieces Debby4000-style (I say this loosely, as I will never achieve her incredible work), used my silicone, did a bit of straight stitch embroidery (hand-to-ornaments), created the sentiment in photoshop, more iced coffee, fretted over the sketch at Mo's Challenge Blog, Skyped with Kathy, overcame my anxiety and finished my card ~ finally! Totally had a GREAT time!
