Good Morning Ladies!

 

 

Wow, it's been awhile since I have blogged! That would be because it's been awhile since I have made an entire card! I know quite a few of you understand when I say I have lost my mojo. I hate it!! Every morning I wake up wanting to go into my craft room but it just isn't happening. I have been busy coloring, though! I have colored and done paper piecing pretty much every day. So when I can get my mojo back, I will be well prepared :).

 

Onto my card. My daughter comes to me yesterday morning and tells me she has a birthday party this afternoon and needs a card. REALLY?! I had my 2 year old nephew here for the weekend, and I was given tickets to the Scrapbooking and Rubber Stamp convention in Syracuse for today, which was almost 2 hours away (that was a fun time!) so I had to get the card done last night, from start to finish. My plan was to color an image and stick it on a card. That did not happen.

 

 

As you can see I used Some Odd Girl's Puppy Gwen. This is the first African American girl I have had the opportunity to color, and I loved getting the chance to try out different skin tones for a change. I was happy with how she turned out :). I did do a clean and simple card, but I recently purchased a tube of  Pinflair glue (thank you Lea for tracking down a seller that ships to the US for me!) and I am now obsessed with doing paper piecing. I love giving my images that 3D affect. I actually don't even want to color an image unless I can make something on it pop lol. 

 

Here is a closer look:

 

Hopefully you can see that I popped quite a bit of her. I could have done more - much more lol - but I had to stop myself. My daughter picked the image, the color combo for her outfit, and the papers. I think she did a pretty good job with coordinating :). 

 

Well that's all for now. I will be back in a couple of days with another card - mojo or not, my son is turning 16 on Wednesday so I WILL be back!

 

Until then, have a great day!
