This hop is also a token of TRCC love to Nandini, Mary Ellen, and Em. Each has also lost someone close to them recently, and we are thinking of you, as well!

I'll be back soon with another creation, so I hope you'll join me then.

Another Bird in Flight

Hi everyone,

Thanks for stopping by and for all your wonderful comments. I'm honored to have you here and I truly appreciate each of you more than you know!

The card I'm sharing with you today comprises something old (the bird plate), something new (the Princess Charlotte Lace Corner), and something blue, or more specifically 2 somethings blue (parchment and rhinestones).  If I'd borrowed something, it might have been more appropriate for a wedding, but nope, it was for a dear friend's birthday last month...

Card: Unbranded Kraft and black, and Clarity blue parchment
Groovi Plates: Princess Charlotte Lace Corner Duet, Large Garden Bird with Branch, and Occasions Border
Tools and embellishments: Pergamano embossing, piecing, and cutting tools, Arteza pencils (the bird is colored), Clarity brads, and rhinestones from my stash

Hi everyone,

Thanks for stopping by and for all your wonderful comments. I'm honored to have you here and I truly appreciate each of you more than you know!

I doubt you'll believe me, but I honestly didn't create this card with the current Rainbow Card Challenge in mind.  Honest!  It's not my fault that blue is one of my favorite colors!  Grin.

Card: Unbranded white blank, SU's Pear Pizzazz, and Clarity parchment
Groovi Plates: Large Net, Linda's Bees (frames), and Large Garden Bird with Branch

Blue Breezes at Rainbow Card Challenge

Hi everyone,

Thanks for stopping by and for all your wonderful comments. I'm honored to have you here and I truly appreciate each of you more than you know!

It's the first of the month, so that means it's time for a new challenge at Rainbow Card Challenge.  Our theme this month is Blue although your card does NOT have to be a breezy scene, if you don't want to!  What we do ask is that it is MONOCHROMATIC BLUE, but we don't mind a hint of another color if necessary.

And here's my card...

Card: Unbranded White blank, SU's Dapper Denim, and Clarity parchment
Groovi Plates: King George and Large Garden Bird with Branch
Tools and embellishments: Arteza Expert pencils and Clarity brads

Challenges...
#36 AG at Love to Craft Challenge Blog
#65 AG at Crafts Galore Encore Challenge
#20 Up In the Air at Papercraft Business Challenge

I'll be back soon with another creation, so I hope you'll join me then.
