I don’t know why October is giving me such a hard time, but I just can’t seem to keep up with myself! Anyway – I missed Garden Party yesterday, so I thought I’d go ahead and post it today. If you remember, this is the picture from last week. I started with the lower right circle and ended up with this. The color palette is different (although there is orange in both). But I got to use my new Basic Grey Ambrosia paper pad. I really like this Basic...

Its Tuesday – time for a magazine clipping from the “Inspiration Shoe Box” to become the basis for a card. If you remember, this was the picture from last week. I pulled this picture from the stack of clipping Debbie sent me. I like the crisp red and white color scheme – and the cute round pillows on the bed. So here is my card: I was going to stamp a red and white background – but then I found some red snowflake paper – so I went with a...

Tuesday – Garden Party Day once again. If you remember, last week’s inspiration photo snatched from the “Inspiration Shoe Box” was this one (with the funky clear chairs). I used this photo as an excuse to make my first ever “clear” card. You know – those “floaty ” cards made from transparencies or clear acetate. Well, I tried anyway. After I created the design in my head and made all the elements – I reached into my drawer to...

Then there is Debbie from Welcome To The Shoe Closet with her beautiful card HERE. Such...

Is it still Tuesday??? Tuesday is Garden Party day – where a clipping snatched out of my (getting kinda empty) inspiration shoebox is used as a basis for a card. Here was the photo from last week. And here is my attempt. I tried to capture the color scheme including the little splash of yellow. I was also trying to make my card look a little “fabric-y”. The image is from the HOTP Botanicals clear set. I stamped it with Broken China Distress ink on...

Its Tuesday – Garden Party day where a clipping from the “Inspiration Shoebox” is used for card inspiration. Well, I wanted to toss this one aside and pick something else – but I was told that would be cheating. So I attempted it. This one was a real stumper for me. My first card was yuck – big time. I thought maybe a beautiful stamp image might save me from myself. So here is my attempt. I don’t know about the card in total – but...
