A Swinging Summer!

haha... I'm going from one season to another!  Yesterday was Fall - today is Summer : )  You never know with me hee hee!

At Paper Romance, Amy challenged us to use a metal embellishment on our card.  I went with easy and decided on a charm!  Believe it or not, this card was not as quick and easy as I would have liked.  You know that some cards are just like that!  Some go together with little effort and some are b i r t h e d !!!

This is Ally Rose.  I placed her on a Swing since the weather is so nice and she loves to be outside!  Don't ya love the cute little flower she's holding?  It matches the cute little charm!  Beautiful bow is made with my Bow Easy... gotta love that little tool!

Images were cut out and Ally Rose was adhered to the seat.  After stringing the cord through the top of the ropes and scalloped cs, everything was glued down.  Here you can see that only the top of the rope swing is adhered so that Ally can swing freely!

Image is colored with copics:  Swing - E35 E34 E33 E31 E30; Hair - E35 E34 YR21 YR20; Skin - E11 E21 E00 R20; Overalls - B97 B95 B93 B91; Flower Y15 Y13 Y11 E35 E34.  Did ya notice the sparkly pink scroll?  It's one that I showed you how to make on Monday.  You can see the tutorial Here.

A Looooooong Overdue Post!

Ok... so here's my story:

I told you that I'd continue the saga, didn't I?  Leave it to me to goof up once again - lol!  Yes, it seems I've been getting REALLY good at it lately, huh?  At least I can say that I'm really good at something... hee hee!!!

So, last month I won a Guest Design Spot at Susie's Sassy Challenge.  Yay for me...  This was one of the digis I got to play with from Di's Digi Downloads.  Isn't she adorable?  I had so much fun creating this card!

This is Maisy Modern with Kaboodle on Swing.

She's colored with copics and cut out so she could swing freely!

So what's the goof up, you ask?  Well... this card was for Susie's last challenge which was posted on April 8!  I did get it to her early enough for her to post on the challenge blog, but did I remember to post it on my own blog?  Nooooooooo... goofy girl!!!  I'm only... let's see... only 19 days late.  Nineteen! Ooops!  Susie... I publicly apologize for my stupidity!  I am very sorry this is soooooooo late.

That's my story.  I'm sticking to it.  Now doesn't that make you feel better? lol!  Anything that you may have done to mess up surely can't be as bad as my boo-boos!

Hopefully, tomorrow I'll have a different kind of card to show ya.  I'm working on something new for me.  We'll see how it goes : )

Thanks for supporting me and loving me even through all my mishaps.  You are truly the BEST : )

May God bless you, keep you and comfort your soul ~
