Hi everyone!

I just noticed that some of my pictures are not showing up. Just click on the  red X in the upper left corner of the blank box for that picture and it will put all the pictures at the bottom of your screen so that you can scroll through them.

I'm not sure why these didn't display. Guess I'm having problems in my section...  need to go investigate. :)

Thanks for visiting.

            ***Most of the cards and projects we do are primarily for the female gender and I wanted to do one that was a bit more on the masculine side. In retrospect, I should have used a timepiece instead of the bezel on the card to achieve this but the bezel matched so well I just had to use it. J  So I stuck a timepiece on the box lid. Now it's masculine! LOL

            On the inside of card I tore the edges of the script paper by hand, painted the edges with LEMON JUICE and burnt them with my heat gun to give it a distressed look. My good friend and fellowess :) designer, Carol Masterson, told me about this application a while back and I decided to try it out and it came out beautifully. Thank you, Miss Carol!!!
            I then used my Distress Inks to smear over the script and then applied the heat gun to alter the background color of the paper. I fell in love with the effect it gave.

           All in all it was an amazingly fun card to make… I want to do more of these…
