Hello friends! I'm doing 2 post for today. I'm trying to get back into crafting and blogging on a regular basis now that my mom is doing better. Right now I'm working on some magazine calls and then I will switch back to blogging more. So many idea's, so little hours in the day! The first post was so personal, that I wanted to split them up because I have more cards to share with you. I love this set!!! Isn't the sentiment so clever??? I paper pieced the image for this one. I liked the color combination of the kraft, black and orange so much that I decided to see what else I could create using them.
Do any of you have a cutting machine?? Which one do you think is better????
I paper pieced the dress on this one. I used my black oil pastel around the circles to make them pop.
What do you think about this color combo?? I hope you are inspired to give it a try and as always ... if you are, let me know so I can check out your project!
Hope your day is filled with sunshine and joy!
hugs,
Melisa
