It's Monday!

Hello everyone! Did you have a nice weekend? Not to many more left before old man winter  comes a knockin at our doors, Blah! I am just not ready for this. And, do you know we have less than 100 days til Christmas!! I have no clue where this year went! We went to PA for two of our grandchildren birthday party! Abbie turned five and Andrew 3..oh no the baby of 10 is 3 years old...yikes...come on Jennifer!!  LOL Jennifer is my DIL who still wants more children!

Before we left for PA I filled some card orders and tonight's card is one of them. LOL  when I was adding my watermark I almost died for I noticed it wasn't completely colored! OMGosh and it was delivered on Friday and I haven't heard a word about it! Let me tell ya, I almost died for it was made for my best customer. I will have to do her next card for half price! Only I could do this!!

Challenges:

Supplies:
  • Image: Rosie on the road again designed by Karen Doodles
  • DCWV DP
  •  Cryogen White paper: The paper I  stamp my image on and lowest price I found was at Cut Card Stock: $8.55 for each pack of 25. The sheets are 8 x 11 1/2. If you buy over 10 packs the price drops to $8.07 and any order over $125.00 is free shipping. Right now they are have a $7.00 off coupon on orders over $35.00.
  • Ribbon: Offry
  • Buttons: stash
  • Copics:
    • YR18, YR17, YR16, YR15
    • B18, B16, B14
    • C00, C01, C03, C05
    • Y6, Y4, Y02, Y00
    • R20 for the ears and mouth
  • Stickles: X-mas Red
TIP OF THE DAY: Stamping on Vellum. I have stamped my sentiment on vellum paper before and was greatly disappointed when I tried to adhere it to the card.  No matter what I tried to adhere the card with such as tape, glue, etc. it would show through the vellum and look horrible.  The cards I posted on September 14, I tried something new and it is awesome! Stamp your sentiment onto the vellum and then dry emboss it with a Cuttlebug folder. Walaaa!! You can use regular two way tape and it will not show through! Plus, I love the look for it  looks more professionalism! Remember to stamp it first and then emboss it.  Trust me...you will love this!
