Peacock Make-Over

As most of you agreed, the ledge I put on THIS CARD to give the peacock something to stand on was kind of lame. Okay, really lame. So I remade the card, sans ledge. I like this MUCH better.


Not much else to say about this, so let's talk about the new Hero Arts catalog. Happy sigh. I'm loving it and have started a wish list that is sort of scary. It'll get whittled down over the next month, but oh my gosh it's so much fun!

Also, I ordered the catalog bundle (with the cling set called My Type) through Hero's website, but simonsaysstamp.com filled the order. They sent a $5 coupon for an order placed before the 30th, which is nice, and a pack of dark green rhinestones as a gift. Must say I'm impressed.


And no, they didn't pay me to say that.

I won't be posting again until after Christmas to focus on my boys and the furry fiend furry golden sunshine.

Christmas blessings to one and all!

  7. Susan, Merry Christmas to you and your family (including that furry Daisy, of course). I just want to tell you how much I enjoy your blogs and look forward to them each day. I am very inspired by your CAS styles. Thank you for taking the time to share with us. It must be a lot of work (including the Sunday SCS CAS favorites of the week) and I do appreciate the time you take out of your busy day.

  8. Oh forgot...I do like the peacock without the ledge much more (it wasn't lame, I just like this one more).

  9. I liked the card you posted Sunday, but I must say, this is an improvement. The ledge removal was a good thing. :o)

    I wish you and your family a Merry Christmas. Enjoy the white, fluffy stuff, as my corner of VA rarely sees any. :sigh:

  12. Oh yes, the peacock is 100% better this way!

    Merry Christmas to you and your family, and thank you so much for a great year of posts that have taught me so much, and for all the Daisy updates that have amused and entertained me and made me grateful that my dogs are 6 years old :)

  15. Ah yes, the peacock. I thought at one point that a ledge made from bling might be fun, but this solution is just right.

    I love that Hero Arts typewriter stamp, reminds me of my high school keyboarding class.

  20. Hi, Susan!

    It was a happy day when I found your blog! I love your clean and simple approach to cardmaking. It's a style that I'm always trying to perfect in my own creations. One of the things that I love most is when you discuss design. I so want to know more about design! I feel like I wouldn't spend so much time with trial and error if I better understood the principles of design. I'm curious how you learned about design. Is there a book or a website you could direct me to?

    Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
