Wishing You.....and some blog awards!!!!

This card is for two challenges. Today's SCS Ways to Use it challenge(WT235) to use red. I opted to use some ruby red which I do not think I have used in quite awhile. I actually found some retired ginger blossom dp, so saffron, and old olive dp in my stash. This card also for yesterday's SCS Sketch Challenge(SC245). I did turn it to fit my image alittle better.

I am using ODBD newly release set Thinking of You. This card is pretty simple and straight forward with no major bells and whistles. I followed the sketch and added a scallop border at the top and bottom of the focal panel. I layered a 1/4" circle punch with gold pearls. I sponged the focal image edges and added a few tiny gold pearls. I added photo corner punches to create some balance. I finished with two ribbon tabs on the bottom right side. I love this color combo eventhough I have not used it in awhile. I think the layout, colors, and patterns used could work for a man, too.

I interupt this blog post to show you a couple of blog awards I have received. I received them a month ago, but with my computer crashing and school starting back I have been alittle slow at getting these posted

The first award is from Crystal!



The second award was given to me by Bev(Beestamper)




Thanks so much Crystal and Bev!!! Please check out these ladies blogs for some wonderful inspiration!!!

The rules for this award are that I must list five things I love to do and then pass it along to five other people.
1. I love to stamp and make cards. I bet you did not know that? LOL!!
2. I love to spend time with my family. We especially enjoy watching movie. Right now we it is fun to watch movies from the 80s.
3. I love to READ! I am so glad my kids love to read, too. I litterally walk around with a book most days.
4. I love to decorate. I actually love to do room redesigns for people. I have done this several times. Using what you already have....just moving it.
5. We seem to entertain quite a bit. It is nothing formal or anything. We just often have friends and family over for cookouts.


I am passing both of these awards to the following bloggers. These are ladies that inspire me with their gift of crafting in some way. Thanks so much!!!!
