Alright 2nd card in the wee hours of the morning!!  I haven’t submitted a card to Dawns challenge in a while.  As you can see I’m still hooked on felt, sizzix and make my own embellies.  BTW these felt sheets are only $0.29/each at Joann Fabrics.  I love them!!!  I was so ready to purchase a yard of each color but I saw these in on e of the aisle.  I got one of each color and only spent $4.  So awesome!!

So this card is for my friend Nina in the Philippines.  She is my bestest friend over there and we don’t get to talk much but I just wanted her to know that I think about her always.  We’ve been through so much together.  I plan to send this to her as soon as I get her address.  I know by now she must have already given birth to her 2nd child.

Nina… not sure if you’re reading this or not but I just wanted to let you know that I miss yah and I wish you lived closer to me or I loved closer to you.

Sniff….. sniff….

Love yah Nins!!

Hello!!  I finally got to do some crafting yesterday.  I had a list of things I wanted to do and so far I got 50% of them done.  So this is my entry for the “Embellish the Cure” Challenge.  I absolutely loved this challenge.  I love the colors, the bling…it was just so fabulous!!

So lately I’ve been addicted to making my own embellishments.  For this one I used the Sizzix circle die cut to cut out the felt circles.  But it need some dimensions.  So I cut a slit on the circle and curled it over till it had a slight cone shape to it. Then I just added some rhinestone “bling” on the center.  I also finally got to  use my new Giga Guidelines stamp and embossed on the pink pirouette cardstock.  I found this to be slightly difficult . . .I couldn’t really see the image that good because I was using versa mark.  I wish it came with a giga grid too.  Nonetheless I still love how huge they are.

Lots of pictures below….gotta go for now and get some stuff done today.  I still have 2 more challenges to work.  Hope you guys are having a good weekend so far.
