Black and White

Time sure goes fast when you are having fun. It is already 2:16 pm. I am finishing another card. I have gone out and ran a few errands. While I was out. I found that a chair I had been looking at for my living room had been clearanced out. It was marked down 1/2 price. I was so excited. I had been watching these chairs for months and they never even went on sale. Today I walk into the store and they are half price. What could I do. I only had enough money to get one today. I bought the chair and came home. Did I tell you how much I love a bargain. The moral to the story is never buy something the first time you see it. You can always get a better price.

Now, don't forget, tomorrow I will be posting my blog candy.

I have a new card and of course it will be entered into several challenges. I do love a good challenge. The image is from Digital Doodling and was drawn by Wendy, Wendy gives a lot of freebies on her blog. and Now she has blog candy. Go by and see her. I love her images. Can you believe that I found to challenges with the same requirements. Black and white plus one other color. The first is over at Die Cut Dreams and the other is Pixie Dust Studio Challenge. The next challenge is at Stamptacular Sunday Challenge oodles and oodles of flowers. I think I got that covered. Digital Tuesday to use scrap paper. Well I have more than enough scrap paper to many cards so that was easy. Next is at Stamp Something pink something. well I have pink.

The papers are from my scrap stash, the card base is Paper Studio. The image is Digital Doodling, onthe black paper, I ran it through the Cuttlebug embossing folder the argyle and swiss dots. Although you can't see that in the photo. I distressed the edges of the image just to tone down the white. the flowers are from my stash. and the pearls are Martha Stewart, I bought them on clearance. Michaels seems to be clearancing out a lot of her stuff. I used my fancy tags fo the sentiment spot. I have not decided what occasion I will use this card for yet. I used a Martha Stewart leave punch for the leaves. Well that is it. Now here is my card.


I would love to hear what you think.

    The Pregnant lady you asked about is a "Lasting impressions" brass embossing template I put it on the light box to emboss it with and embossing tool them carefully turned it over and used a mementos ink pen to go through the template , not as neat as I wanted it but was in a hurry (as always !! lol)
