I just love Bella Rose Printed Papers well I pretty much love the whole Sweet Bella Style watch in the SU! Catty, I am also a huge fan of Red and Riding Hood Red is by far my Favourite Red Tone, I think I will be using lots of Riding Hood Red and Kiwi Kiss this Christmas {I can’t believe I am thinking of Christmas now}. Anyway, This card is a total case of a card by the SUPER talented Kelly Lunceford, Here is a link to Kelly’s card I changed the colours, Papers and added some layers {you know I use LOTS of layers} but Kelly’s card was pretty much the reason I brought this set because I loved it SO much…

I feel like I use Pink way too much but it’s just so pretty, and I just LOVE Regal Rose. This card was super quick and easy….. Words I don’t use often with my cards {lol}. I made a bunch of these cards a few weeks ago and I also did some with the Rose image from Fifth Avenue Floral and also the Lilly, they looked great but I have already given them away so I could not show you. Sorry

My title for this blog entry makes me laugh because I am SO not inspired as you know but the “Inspired” comes from the stamps I used called “Inspired by Nature” which I just love, It is a stamp set that is SO easy to use and no matter what you do it looks ok. In an effort to get inspired and find my missing mojo I pulled out some old Technique notes and found notes on Ghosting and thought I would give it a go. It was a fun technique as all you do is brayer ink over Vellum and while the ink is wet stamp a “dry” bold image on the inked up Vellum and the image picks up the ink and creates this lovely and soft reversed image. It’s a great way to use up some vellum because I think every Card marker and even Scrapbookers have lots of vellum in their stash that is hardly used.

I have attached a little Printed Paper and ribbon on the main image panel, The background is just the Grass image from the Inspired by Nature stamp set which I have clear embossed to add a little pop.

Have a great day

Well, it has been a little while since my last post…. Sorry about that. I have received several emails in the past week checking in to see if I had forgotten about my little old blog and to see if I am ok……….Well I am not sure what to say. To be completely honest I have not been making any cards lately and I have had hardly any classes {shock} I am just not feeling creative or myself at the moment, I have been a little under the weather and I am just taking a little time to “heal”. I don’t really know what to say but I am sorry for not blogging. I have however gone through my card stack and taken photos of some cards I have made and not posted mostly because I did not think they were any good so I do have some cards to show you over the coming weeks…. Don’t get too excited but they aren’t that great {lol}

I have also received over 60 emails asking for a tutorial of my secret message card from my last post, To start with I have never felt so popular so thanks for that. I have been working on a tutorial but not only am I “un-creative” at the moment, My brain is not working so it may have a short delay.

The long and short of it is, Please bear with me at the moment, I really love the fact that people visit my blog and I will try to return to normal programming soon.

In the meantime I have this quick card for you, It’s not my normal style but it was just a card I whipped up the other day for a very sweet friend of mine, A few of you may of heard of her… Well she is the famous Marelle Taylor. We had been on the phone for a “quick chat” which are never quick {lol} and I just wanted to post her a note to just say thanks for being her. I hope I am not alone, I make so many cards but I never seem to send any to friends and family…. So if you are like me, I challenge you to think of a friend or family member that needs a pick up, a thank you for something or just say Hi and send them a card…. Go on…do it.
