Hi Friends!
Today is the 20th of the month, which means there is a new challenge going on over at the DeNami blog. You can check out all of the details here ------> DeNami Design Theme Challenge #2. The theme for this month's challenge is anything "tropical or summer". When I think of "summer" I usually think of lots of flowers. So for this card, I decided to grab the Tulips image from DeNami Design. I used some of my Copic markers to color them in, and then added some stitching to the card, along with some pretty Sheer Mossy Green Ribbon.
I'll share a funny story real quick... (even though it's a bit embarrassing)... But while I was making this card, when it came time to do the stitching part on my sewing machine, I guess I wasn't paying attention very well, because I actually forgot to keep the top layer seperate from my card base (like I usually do), and I ended up sewing my entire card together!! So basically, I didn't notice until once I was done sewing, and I then realized that I couldn't even open the card! Ooops!! LoL... I hope i'm not the only one this has happened to. If any of you have any similar stories, please share them... so I won't feel so silly and dumb! haha... =)
As some of you already know, I am currently still in Orlando this weekend, at the StampFest show, helping out at the DeNami booth. I am having a great time! I really wish I could write more right now on this post, but unfortunately, the internet at the hotel here is extremely SLOW! I am getting pretty frustrated just trying to get through this post. However, I defintely plan on sharing my experiences and even some pictures of how my weekend went here at the show. I met a few new super sweet friends and even got to finally meet Paulina and her WONDERFUL family! I have lots to share, so I promise to update my blog once I get home and have access to faster internet!
Hope you all are doing well... and be sure to join the DeNami Theme Challenge #2 for this month!
