Make it Monday #72

Hello and Happy Hump Day! Over the half way point to the weekend! Yay!

I'm just stopping in to share a quick card I made for this weeks Make it Monday, in which Dawn is challenging us to Step up our Embellishments! I have missed quite a few MIM's now, and with my June goodies making a landing on Monday (I ordered late, because I was out of town), I just had to play along! And this is what I came up with:

And here is a side view where you can hopefully see the dimension a little more:

I stepped up this embellishment on my card by adding lots of layers. I also heat embossed with clear EP the Pretty Peonies butterfly, and the Fancy Flourish. I stamped the Mat Stack 5 with the Mat Stack 5 Collection. It is a little hard to tell in the photo, but the bling matches the Winter Wisteria doily better IRL. Anyway, I hope you like my interpretation of this weeks challenge! I had a lot of fun with this card! I will be back soon with some cards I made and never posted using On The Farm.

Thanks for taking the time to visit and have a GREAT rest of your day!

A Note of Thanks

Happy Humpday! We are half-way there to the always highly anticipated weekend! Even more so it seems this week, as I had my September release Papertrey Ink package show up on my door step uber quickly on Monday! Oh, how I am looking forward to playing with those goodies! I'm sure you understand! ;) I don't get much crafty time during the week. I just don't have the energy once I get home. It's too bad, because most days I spend a majority of my day, daydreaming of a card or project I want to work on when I get home...I feel so inspired and full of ideas, but by the time I get home and get everyone (fur babies) walked and fed, and changed and all the other daily stuff, it is usually after 8pm and my mojo is sucked right out with my energy! Does that happen to you? I am always so envious of those crafters who work late at night, or when they are tired!
Anyway, in an attempt to keep things a little more active here on the ole' blog-o, I found this card I made a few months ago, and never got around to posting. I liked it. I hope you do!

 

Thanks so much for stopping by today!
