So I really had good intentions with this first card but I think what happened was I tried to do too much. I think this is a case of more-is-more gone wrong *laughs* Good thing is it'll be from my son to my husband for Father's Day so without overtly lying, I'll imply that it was made by him - haaaa.... I love the German Scrap that I have down the side, so I'm good with that. I think that's a great look - and for only 90-cents you get a really fancy look. Then I added some Pez-A-Bling which I adore as well - - I don't think I've used the new bigger solid ones yet and I wanted to use those really bad. I like the little patch of Honey Gold Sparkle ones, so I'm good there. I think my issue is using all of the embellishments together. But again, heartfelt and handcrafted - what's not to love, right?
And just so that you know that I can create a good card on occasion, I decided to post this one that I created a while back. It's the second of 2 cards that I submitted for pub to an Ezine that I didn't know was an Ezine, sent in my cards and have no idea what's become of them or the Ezine - ha. So if you see this card out there in the blogosphere, let me know!
It's Friday, and I have had a really rough 6-weeks or so, so we are heading up to the mountains this afternoon. We're going to stay at The Ashley Inn up in Cascade - a fabulous hotel with Victorian-themed bedrooms, a jacuzzi tub so I can take a nice, long bubble bath, and the most amazing breakfast buffet ever *heaven*.Have a wonderful weekend, Girls!

Great ideas. Thanks for commenting on on my blog. I would use the tiles as coasters.
"more is more gone wrong!" That gave me a great laugh! I really enjoy the card you made for the ezine. I love how the boat just looks like it's sailing on the water. btw, what ribbon is on that one? I love the color. Enjoy your weekend!!!
The boat card is beautiful! My mojo has left as well!
It's not as bad as you think. Have a great time at The Ashley Inn!
I don't know why you don't like the Father's Day card - I think it looks great. And the second card is cute-ola!
Enjoy the long soak in the tub... Do remember to stop and breath once in awhile.
Great cards!!!!
Enjoy your get-away! Love your fathers day cards, the second one is awesome!
On the TAC there is 10% shipping added to the price but I get 20% off the price. So basicly take price - 10%= total
MOJO is a strange thing huh? I feel your pain. I know how distraught I get when I create something and it never works. I think it's a cute father's day card. Thanks for introducing me to Pez! Another item to add to "want" list. I hope you have a relaxing weekend away. Sounds gorgeous! Oh and if I see that beautiful ship card, I will be sure to let you know! :-)
You cards are always great! There are just some we don't like ourselves! I really like the colors n it...and the boat card is just precious. Are you talking about Christian Paper Magazine? They were going to be an ezine only, but now are going to be published as well. Here is the web addy http://cpcmag.com, Cindy should be able to tell you something. :-)
Hope you are enjoying your weekend away! The cards look fine to me!
