"Love"-ly Lace

Oh, happy day. Mid-winter vacation is here. Before I begin cleaning house in earnest I needed to take care of some blog business.



Thanks to my daughter for her "plug". The secret to finding the time... I ignore the dog hair and dust until vacation, LOL . Now I have to REALLY clean. Maybe I'll save one day to craft.



Here is a card I made for the last call. The problem is I read the dates wrong and missed the submission deadline. The good news is I will have a few for blog posts! A silver lining.

Oh, by the way, Happy Valentine's Day.

Papers, Mat stack die, and sentiment are from PTI; image stamp is SU; scallop punches are Martha Stewart; embossing is Cuttlebug folder; bridal trim and pearls.

Ahh, a day to create

Hello all,
I hope you all had wonderful holidays. I finally decided to take a day to create. I needed to make an anniversary card for my in-laws for today. We had a big party for them this afternoon. A good time was had by all, and a lot more food on top of the holiday goodies. Diet, here I come.
If I stamp I won't eat!

This first card is a Mo Manning image. Her work is simply incredible. I thought this was perfect for an anniversary. There are several challenges out there addressing "NEW".
I decided to use this card. A new chapter in their lives, from a very long book.
See Mo's Challenge here .
For the No Time to Stamp challenge, here, I used a new technique to me, combining Copics and Prismas. I will be doing this more!

Three Clovers Designs challenge #45 was Celebration! 60 years worth!
Papers: SU Always Artichoke, Elegant Eggplant, Old Olive; GP white CS; DP from Provo Craft Scrap Pad

This next card was an attempt at combining challenges. The first is Mojo Monday's 119, and the second is SCS Color challenge CC251.
