Hey there! Is it Tuesday already?? Wow. The new year is off to a great start here – Christmas break was super rejuvenating, and though the flu is making the rounds we’ve been healthy enough. I’m not going to complain!!
I finally got a chance to play along on sketch 154 from Operation Write Home. I’d like to offer a great, big welcome to Marlene, the new “sketch lady!” 🙂 My first attempt was not so hot, but I tried again and I like the end result:

| Authentique paper HERO ARTS/OWH sentiment Nesties labels 9
Momento London Fog ink; Tim Holtz Victorian Velvet ink |
I made a lightbox from Paula’s tutorial over at the Stars & Stamps blog today. I need better lighting yet, but wow – what a difference! My box has a spot right on top of my printer, LOL. What can I say? I’m a little crunched for space in here.
The Nesties shape is my blog win from Krystil’s blog on New Year’s. 🙂 I LOVE these new labels… thank you, Krystil!
I found a great local stamping resource – Lighthouse Books & Gifts in Wisconsin Rapids, Wisconsin. If you are anywhere near or traveling through, be sure to stop in and check it out. They have a truly awesome selection of stamps, dies, inks, and embossing folders. They even carry a bunch of 6×6 pads, and I know I”m not the only paper addict out there. 🙂
Thanks for visiting me today!

Yay! Nice card. I love the floral paper. I haven't had a chance to play with my goodies. Still cleaning. 😦
Pretty, pretty. Those labels match the feel of the papers quite well. The light box made a nice difference in your photo; I'm sure an additional light will really make the photos pop!
Beautiful colors Jen and I like the die cut you used … It frames the sentiment so nicely! Glad that the light box info. helped too 🙂
Not only is the card great with that pretty sentiment, I love your new avatar with that great smile 🙂
Hi Jen! I love YOUR card with that gorgeous DP! Thanks for visiting my blog; to answer your question, the border on the sentiment is part of the Stampabilities stamp. It's an awesome set of 3; I'll try to find the name of it for you.
Jen, this card is so pretty. I especially like the distressing with the pinky ink. I am new to distressing and can't seem to get it right. I bought several Tim Holtz' Distress inks so I'll keep trying 🙂
Jen, your card is gorgeous! You've used such soft colors and those are my favorites. I'm a big fan of Authentique but I haven't seen that paper yet. I love what you've done with the center element. The sentiment on the die cut is perfect. Thanks for playing!
PS… thanks also for the welcome shout out. 🙂
Super cute!
