I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas. I was thinking that since this is the last day of 2010 I began to think about what I was doing a year ago. I joined two great groups (Copic Crafters and Frugal Scrappers) where I have learned so much throughout the year. And hoping I learn more in 2011.
“Cool” is the word my 10 year old Grandson used when I showed him my new card I just finished making. You just don’t get better compliments than from a 10 year old boy. When I saw the stamp called Japanese Tilda I knew I had to have her. I got her right before Christmas and had to color her immediately. Let me know what you think.
This is the first card where I used my new Desktop Photo Studio. What a difference it makes when taking photos. No more taking tons of photos to get the best one.
I’m entering this card in the following challenges:
1. Stamping Scrapping Challenge Central
2. 7 Kids College Fund Challenge Blog

Nice job, Fran, I love the way you've used a 'scrapping' paper to good advantage. Sometimes the patterns are so big they don't relate well to cards, I have this stack, just haven't used it much, will have to rethink that. C2
ReplyDeleteThis is awesome, Fran and your coloring is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThis is very cute, I love her, I may just have to order her Next Year.
ReplyDeleteI love how you colored her, and I love how you give a list of what you used and where it came from.
Thanks ever so much for sharing,
Happy New Year

You colored her so pretty and the photo is nice, I do not have a photo booth so I will still be taking tons of pictures. I love the butterflies you added to the card, it really pulled it together perfectly.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card Fran! oh yeah, I have a 10 yr old g-son too and they are awesome! Picture taking is a trial for sure but anything that helps along the way makes me so happy! What photo studio did you get? TFS!

She's delightful, Fran - is the gorgeous flower on the lower right part of the card? How do you mail them? Love the background mat - can you do that on your Cricut?
