Design Challenge #8

After skipping the challenge last week (I don't have a scallop cutter thing-y); I found I could make this week's without any problem (except for the usual of picking which papers to use). I have so many scraps on my drafting table, that I just move some aside to see what's underneath. The background for the tag is from a kleenex box - it was just too pretty to throw away.

A blue day

No cards today...I had to put our sweet puppy to sleep yesterday. She almost made it to her 14th year, but she was deteriorating so rapidly and was just beginning to be in pain from the arthritis in her joints. For such a small dog, she leaves a big hole.

Design Challenge #6

Here's my card for OSA's Design Challenge (#6); again, it was a challenge as I don't ever use half circles (or maybe I should say I just haven't yet). I switched papers so much that my table is awash with scraps. Which is OK, because I have now used this palette twice in the last month and I think these colors give the cards a masculine feel (and I can always use a card or two for guys).

Design Challenge #5

It's time for a new design challenge over on OSA, it's a tough one, too -- all those little pieces around the perimeter of the card gave me fits trying to line them up accurately! I also have fallen in love (looks like I'm the only one, too) with the color combination of green and purple. I have now made at least five cards with those colors...
