ReplyDeleteOh Joy your card is so pretty I love it so much. I really enjoyed your video and thanks for as you said keeping it real because these kind of situations really do occur all the time however i want to thank you or the spatula tip as I can see where it is a big help. I really enjoyed watching you create your stamped background I never think to do this. You as always are fun to hang with and that's the way I feel while watching your videos as I get me a Kuppa Kuppa Keurig and just sit with you.
ReplyDeleteWe are going away for the weekend plus Friday and Tuesday :) LOVE the card.

I love watching the U-turn in your card making process. Nice to know it happens to all of us! Thanks for the spatula trick, I've had to lift a top layer more than once!
ReplyDeleteI'll be having neck surgery on the 15th. Hopefully on Columbus day I will be working on some serious crafts.
ReplyDeleteLove the card. We aren't doing anything special for Columbus Day but I will be in my craftroom making cards and scrapping. Jill P. Manteca, CA
ReplyDeleteI would love to win the Cricut Cartridge. I love Halloween. I'm keeping my 9 year old Granddaughter Columbus Day. She doesn't have school but Mommy has to work. We'll probably watch movies. She isn't into my scrapping hobby at all. I've tried but she gets board. Anyway, thanks for sharing and a chance to win. Patti Jacobs mawdog1@yahoo.com
ReplyDeleteThank you for keeping in your evolution of the card. Seeing your process allows me to think about other ideas in the middle of card making and make changes. You are one talented lady!
ReplyDeleteI really enjoy your creations. Great job again. TFS.
ReplyDeleteLove this card. Evolution is a good thing. It's how we create. Thanks for the great video.

My husband has off that Tuesday... as does our 10 year old, so we will be spending the day running errands. Nothing super fun or exciting, but my hubby doesn't often have the day off. It will be fun! :) michaelswifey@yahoo.com
ReplyDeleteGoing to "try" and organize my craft room...wish me luck...lol>
ReplyDeleteHeading to Duluth, MN for one last Camping trip.
ReplyDeleteI used to start my Christmas shopping on Columbus Day with the super sales. Now, I just like to sit back and relax and wonder how I ever did all that shopping!
ReplyDeleteLike your card...as usual.
Thanks for showing "real time" cardmaking. I love my CTMH cricut carts and your creations with them, so helpful.
ReplyDeleteWhat an adorable card! You're so creative, and have inspired me to pull out my cart and start making cards!!
ReplyDeleteGreat card, and the addition of the pearls adds even more class to it. I have no plans for Columbus Day. Just enjoy the pleasant weather until the blast of winter arrives.
ReplyDeleteI think I will be making a card or 3 LOL!!!!! Love your cards
ReplyDeleteI've got 5 days off! Yea!

I'm STILL working in my kitchen Joy :(
ReplyDeleteI don't know if I'll EVER get it done, with my husband working so much in the coal mine:(
Very frustrating.. Putting in my wood stove this weekend too. Sooo much to do and so little time to get it all done..
I loveeeee love love your Christmas cards! Wish I had the stamps to work with, they make SUCH an impression!
Gotta get me some!
Another elegant card! Love using ornaments for a card decoration. We are retired so everyday is a potential holiday! No special plans for Columbus Day. ;-)
ReplyDeleteLike the Christmas colors. No plans as of yet for Columbus Day. Hubby & I may get out & ride our Tandem Bicycle now that it is cooler temps.

Love your work! All cookies are wonderful, but the best have to be Italian seven-layers with chocolate sprinkles on top. A cup of coffee + those cookies = a very happy crafter!
ReplyDeleteChris C
Another cool card, Joy!
ReplyDeleteThis weekend is pretty busy with visiting old friends and cleaning out the garage - getting it ready to put the cars back in so they won't get covered with snow!

Those cards are very nice, thanks for sharing. My favorite cookie is a tough one n there are so many good ones. White Chocolate Chip, peanut butter, and sugar cookies I guess would be at the top for me.
ReplyDeleteLove the card. Going to check out a pumpkin patch and I need to work on birthday cards and possibly holiday cards this weekend. Thank you for always sharing your wonderful creations with us I love the inspirations and ideas it gives me. Hope whatever you do this weekend that it's fun!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the video, it cleared up a free things. No plans for the weekend other than to organize scrap room...and that's a large undertaking!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely card. I would have to say Oatmeal raisin cookies are my favorite. We have no plans for the weekend. Trying to get 2 projects done. Thanks for all the great tips!
ReplyDeletevery nice card, and thank you for always showing us the how to on the cricut hand books. gooey chewy cookie is always good. thanks for sharing.
