No red she said!

Hi every one,

I finally have managed to get some more cards made & even enter a challenge! How exciting is that.  Yeah I know it doesn't take much to get me excited ;).

This week's challenge at Jingle Belles is No red.  So here is my card

Not a scrap of red in sight.  I love doing these wreathes.  They can be time consuming, but they look so good.  When ever I get scraps of green c/s or pp that are too small for anything I punch out these leaves & put them into a zip lock bag.  Then I draw a circle onto the b/g paper & glue the base of the leaf to the circle outline.  I then slip the next leaf under the first & so on & so on, til the cirlce is full.  Add a few gems/pears & ta-da one wreath.

Have a great week & happy crafting xoxoxoxoxo

Jingle Belles Challenge

Hi everyone,

Well I've been able to make a few cards this last week.  I even mastered Gimp (sort of).  Just wish I knew how to upload to the internet what I have done.  Any ideas, any one?  I am slowly becoming computer (kicking & screaming all the way) smart.

Any hoo, this is my latest card for the Jingle Belles challenge this week.  What do you think?  I made a lot of boo boos on this card.  That'll teach me to do things when I'm bone tired.  I stamped the sentiment crooked (so hate that), so then had to angle the nestie label on an angle.  Then somehow I managed to not align my papers correctly, so a knotted ribbon covered that.  Lastly I managed to get a black mark on the pink background, so gems covered that up.  I also managed to make the distress inks run when I used some Pearl-ex & water.  Oh well, I guess that these things happen.

Well I'd better be going, I'm trying to get both my girls to have a sleep this arvo (so wish I could have one ;P)

Happy crafting every one xoxoxoxo
