Tea for two

Hi there! Soooo this week's challenge at the Shabby Tea Room prompted me to create this fun card! And guess what, the card matches so well with my favorite collection of books (Penguin Classics with embossed linen covers designed by Coralie-Bickford Smith....so pretty!) So I just had to photograph my card in front of the blue and green books...That, and everywhere else is an absolute mess- why do I always think home projects will be "easy, cheap, and fast"??? Yikes...not so. 

Anyway... If you're ready to play along with another fun challenge at The Shabby Tea Room, this is what you need to do- use the colors green and blue! (Rhymes!) And check out the beautiful inspiration photo below.

Pretty, right? 

Also, this week's sponsor is Robyn's Fetish and they have loads of cute digi images (I used the Tea for Two image on my card) AND they are giving away a prize to this week's winner!

Oh yes, and the other Shabby Girls have some really really beautiful cards this week! Don't forget to stop by their blogs and leave a little comment.

Hi friends, its been a bit of a ghost town over here this past week... I've had the luck to secure a hard drive issue on my laptop-the only working computer in my house! So i'm waiting for the bitter-sweet 'recovery hard  disc' that will set my computer back to its factory state. (P.S. if you're new computer or notebook sends you a friendly little reminder to create a recovery disc....say, every day.....Do it!)

So here's this week's Shabby Tea Room Challenge card. The challenge is to use an embossing technique-I used wet embossing with white powder. I also used a digi image (Fruity Strawberries) from Robyn's Fetish.

Well, Its late here... and I'm at my sister's house using her computer... Better get going! I hope to have my computer up and running this coming week, and I've got lots to show you!

BTW- Sorry for the awful picture, I'll try and get a better one in the morning!

OH! And don't forget to leave some love for the Shabby Girls at their wonderful blogs!

Little Lamb

Hi there! Here's my card for this week's Shabby Tea Room challenge. I used a digital stamp from this week's sponsor Robyn's Fetish. The stamp I used is called Lily Lamb. 

I used a photoshopping (I know..I make up words..) program to lighten the stamp for a softer look. I then did some textured shading with a couple of gray Copic markers...after that was done I used some distressing ink to age the and distress the little lamb image for a more vintage look.

Be sure to check out all the inspiration from the Shabby Girls-

and stay tuned because I crafted up a storm this weekend trying to chase down the ol' mojo... so I have lots of cards to show!
