And now for the positive side! I get a new computer! I do have to wait until Black Friday, but I'm kinda excited about that! I also get an external hard drive to back up my stuff--I've needed this for a long time now! :)
So, anyway, I'm also having internet issues. Sorry to not get to comment on as many blogs as I'd like and please don't be offended if you enter one of my challenges and do not get a comment from me. It's been really hard just posting this!
I do have two cards to share with you. And I'm hoping I'm able to link them up to the appropriate challenges! Fingers crossed...
Here's card one~
Details~
For these fabulous challenges~
I used my Glue Pad to ink up the cupcake image and then used a fun bluish purple fine glitter from SU! to add some glam. I paper pierced under the sentiment to add an anchor and then secured my pink and white main panels with eyelets. Such fun!
Second card~
Details~
For these fabulous challenges~
(I've done the diagonal from orange down to white.
My "free" is triple time stamping!)
(YES. It did take me less than 30 minutes!
I can't believe I've never done this technique before!)
This card is my first ever attempt at triple time stamping! I must say, I was a bit worried that it would turn out well, but it did! I've used three colors of orange ink from SU! and a sentiment and stamps from CTMH from the garage sale the other day. I even decorated the inside! Are you proud of me, Ruth?! I know it's not the envelope as well, but it's more than usual! ;)
Thanks for stopping by to take a peek at my creations and to commiserate with me upon the loss of my beloved laptop. I appreciate the time you take to stop and say hi! Please join in these amazing challenges--I love seeing YOUR creations, too (when my technology allows)! Happy stamping! :)
These cards are beautiful! Love the little cupcake! Sorry to hear about your computer-but happy that you get a new one! :)
ReplyDeleteOooH WOW Mynnette this is just fabulous. I can't believe that you've not done the triple time stamping before because it looks like a pro did it. Thanks for sharing your lovely creation with us this week at Addicted to Stamps and More!
ReplyDeleteThey're both gorgeous Mynnette - particularly love the first because it's wonderfully CAS! Going to have to 'find' the triple time stamping technique - never seen or heard of that one before! Have warned my DH that once our very old laptop goes we are going to have to get me a new one - no if's, but's or maybe's! I think he's got his fingers crossed that it will last for one more year!

ReplyDeleteI know all too well about computer issues. God willing, I'm getting a new laptop at Christmas. I can't view blogs on my current laptop. I guess the graphics are overwhelming because it freezes up. Glad you were able to post your two beautiful cards. I really love the layering on the second one and am amazed at how you were able to keep the design intact with all the layers. Thanks so much for sharing with us at Word Art Wednesday this week. Blessings!
ReplyDeleteWonderful card Mynette. Thanks for sharing with us at ATS&M. I'm holding back with my 4th entry, not sure what to do with regarding your internet problems. hugs Caz
