but here I am. :) Been busy with my family...and work, all good. I have decided to make blog posts on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays through the summer and hope to pick it back up in the fall. My time on the computer has been cut WAY back with my kids home from school. I hope to post more than 1 project on those days, so I hope you will still stop by and see me each week.
This Monday's Challenge Chick Challenge is using Scented Embossing Powders. If you don't have these wonderfully scented accents, then it's just a "heat challenge" for you. They will be on sale at CHF for 2 weeks. I used the Chocolate Brownie scent on my card:
I used Bold Curls for the swirly pattern, Cardmakers Shapes for the solid postage stamp and HUgs & Kisses for the mug and sentiment. Bo Bunny paper, Tsukineko and Clearsnap ink and Beaux Regards ribbon...topped off with that yummy smelling Chocolate brownie scent!
*Tip stamp a large surface to create a custom pattern and cut down the paper to create a frame for your main image*
Here's a non-stampy card too :) Teresa Collins polka dot paper, Making Memories decorative edged paper, Melissa Frances sticker, Prima flower and MAMBI bling. (the center of that flower is not green IRL...the sheer flower threw my camera for a loop)
*Tip balance decorative edged papers if possible by placing 2 , facing away form each other*
*FF The oldest recorded age for a dog is 29 years* (I am no math genious, but that was one old pooch)
Have a fantastic week :)
These are fantastic! I absolutely love the second one. You rock.
