CARD CONCEPT CHALLENGE #27 and NBUS #3





Never-Before-Used-Schtuff (Stamps, Dies, EFs, etc.)

Okay folks...how fabulously funky are these "LOVE" letters and weathered barn boards? You'll find tons of inspiration from the CCC  gals - check it out!

I think this may be a record - I made a card that I liked on the first try! It's graphic, but in a soft way. Perhaps it's the lovely movement in the sentiment font, a new SSS acquisition. I've popped up the hearts to add a bit of dimension. 

BTW, the colors are beautifully pink-ish and co-ordinate nicely in real life! 

My card is also heading over to Darnell's blog (yes....THE  Darnell, with 763 followers and counting) for her NBUS Challenge #3.

Darnell is a dear friend with a smile that lights up the world, a kind heart and a sense of humor that will make you smile all over your face. If you haven't already linked up to NBUS #3 you best get busy because the gate closes at noon on January 22nd!

Happy crafting!

BTW, did you notice the new watermark?  Would you like one for your blog? Get started by contacting Kylie, who offers amazing, speed of light customer service and great technical help.

  14. I'm swooning exponentially over your gorgeous card AND the new watermark that I spy! Those ombre hearts of yours, particularly in light of my current crush with paint chips, see me with a smile all over MY face! Pretty to the max, my friend! Your beautiful sympathy card arrived: THANK YOU ever so much, and the donation to the Children's Hospital...my heart is deeply touched, as is my mom's and, I know, my dad's! You are such a gift! And by the way...when are you heading west again? If/when you do, pencil in a visit with me, where I'll give you a really squeezy hug! Until then,here's a virtual one: SQUUUEEEEEEEZE!
    Hugs~c
