Good morning! I haven't wanted to whine in public, so only a few of you know that I've had the creepin' crud this week! However, I woke up this a.m. able to breathe again through my nose!!! Amazing how little it takes to make me happy - breathing is good!
This card is one that I made for Selma's challenge at StampTV this week.
The challenge is "Blast from the Past".
Every Friday, Selma will focus on one of Gina's past video's and challenges.
This weeks challenge was 'partial embossing'.
I used Gina's Pure Luxury Ivory CS, the Cuttlebut Dotted Swiss Embossing Folder, my Scor-Pal, and Theresa Momber's set "Very Merry Christmas".
Hope you like it!
This next project is a gift bag that I made for a recent Gift Bag Swap. I cut down a lunch bag, and covered the front and back. The Ornamental Joy stamp is from The Angel Company. The slot-punch is from Stampin' Up.
I received some gorgeous bags in the swap - maybe I will showcase them tomorrow! It's so much fun to glitz up a plain bag!
Well, so far, we have been very lucky. It's been cold, wet, and windy here, but we've had no ice, and no snow. How about all of you?
Today's adventure will be to go to the store for 'necessities'. I haven't ventured out since the weekend, but today, I have no choice! There are things that I must have!
Hope that you have a wonderful day!
Patti J.
Food for thought: Slow down and enjoy the season! The Lord didn't do it all in one day - what makes you think you can???
Sorry to hear you haven't been feeling well Patti. I love the card you made for my challenge on STV. Your layout is beautiful. Your partial embossing is so pretty with both ends of it completed in a different way. Your coloring on Theresa's image is beautiful. Great job on the challenge. Take care of yourself.
