Ahoy!

Thank you everyone for visiting and giving me my first 100. I hope there will be more to come.
I look forward to your comments and hope you will follow my blog.

This is a card I did a few weeks ago and thought I would share it with you. I received these images from a dear friend in Canada. I love them. They are from the High Hopes collection. I used few Copic markers for at the time I had a limited supply of them. The map was crushed and them smudged with ink. I hope you like it.

Paper: SU Real Red, DP Generic

Grrrrrr....I am so close to that 100 Visits I can taste it!

Another friendly card to look at. I received these images of Under the Stars, Stampin Up! from an RAK-wish member on SCS. I love that group and these images. It was to fun to do. I used Embroidery Floss for the wrap around and I impressed the gal I was stamping with. Give it a go. It works great.

Ok, well this is my first try at blogging. I hope this works. I need more information to make it all cool but I guess the best thing to do is to dive right in and give it a try. Things will sooner or later come to me and I will learn all the fun stuff later. I did this card a few weeks ago but thought this would be a good one to start with. I received this wonderful image from a friend. The Hanglar and Stanglar stamps are not available to me here in the US, but I love them so much. It was a wonderful treat to just get a few to try out.

Copic pens: B00, Y11, E25, E31.
Background is made up of SU Caribian Blue, and Chocolate Chip papers
The brown is embossed with my cuttlebug
I used SU Certaily Celery for the tab and the branches
Window is from Magnolias

Well, hope all this works and I look forward to meeting all you new people.
