TOTALLY GORJUSS

Finally, I have finished my first project for posting for the weekend. Although it is not my first project to be finished. I had an order for note cards. And I am making cards to take with me when I go to Chicago on Friday, they are a gift for some one close to me. So I got the paper all cut and now I just have to get them put together.

So, my card today is a friends card. The image used is by Suzanne Woolcott (2009) from Sugar Nellie Stamps. I bought it at my favorite scrapbook store in the area, Scrapbook Mania. I just realized that I chose the wrong little girl to go with cat. Oh, well, I guess it really does not matter. Both images were colored with my Copics E13, E50, E51, E53, E25, B000, BO2, B05, W3, W5. I used my blue spica glitter pen for shine. The stitching was done on my little Pixie. (I don't know why it has gotten such a bad rep, I have not had any problems with it working for me and it is so convenient, with my regular machine I had to pull it out, put up and it was not even worth all the hassle. The paper is The Paper Studio at Hobby Lobby. the royal blue bling is from the clearance isle at Hobby Lobby, the stars are just from my stash. The quote is from my stash, I really don't remember where I bought it. The ribbon I got at Hobby Lobby yesterday for half price. I used my Cuttlebug and the circles embossing folder. The sketch is from Creative Inspirations Wednesday Challenge

STITCHES STITCHES STITCHES

Happy Saturday, I am back with another card. But, boy have I had a busy day. I got up early and was headed to the Walmart to pick up a few things for the house and my car would not start, I mean all I got was click, click click. Now this is a bother. I thought it was the battery. I called my roadside service they sent out the tow truck and he got me going.  Since I bought the battery at Walmarts it was a good thing that is where I was headed. Well, I got the battery tested and it is not the battery. The young man said he thought it was the starter. I was really praying that wasn't it. I knew the sound of that click click click. I had heard it before. Now I have got to set up an appointment with the mechanic. I have really been trying to stay out of his shop. But, the call must be made.

Let's move on to something that is much more fun than my car problems. How about my new card. I have used a Wags N' Whiskers image (He loves Me) and their challenge is to use stitches. The sketch is Papertake Weekly

I have been practicing making bows, I still have a long way to go.  The color combo is a challenge at Colour Create

This was their color inspiration picture. My cards colors pick these up. The DP papers are from Basic Grey their challenge is to have stitches.

My card is colored with copics (of course) E09, E31, E33, 341, E25, E42, E53, G82, G17, W3, W5, W7, YR65, YR14, Y38 and the peach spica pen. The DP is Basic Grey green at heart. The card stock is Bazzill. I used my little pixie sewing machine to sew the stitches. I am still practicing with this. But, the Pixie is really more convenient than my regular machine. And I don't have to keep moving it. The ribbon and buttons are from my stash. This is it for today. I think it is time to go shopping online.

I did make it to the scrapbook store (My Scrapbook Mania in Bessemer, AL). I drove 45 miles for  Copics. I did get 2 stamps that were on sale for 50% off. And I did stop off at a couple of other stores in the area, although I did not buy anything else. I do like to look sometime.

I hope that you like my card and I would love to hear from you.
