And it seems my customers much prefer the gussied-up, blingy, be-ribboned cards, so I must embrace my promiscuity! I went into my studio yesterday to stamp and color birds. 40 birds later, I gave up the ghost because my hand could no longer hold a Copic marker. Residual effects linger today, so I satisfied myself with tidying the mess I made yesterday.<br /><br />Thanks so much for your comments on the card I made. You made my day! uncbballfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09896542039583642083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9008375791436102784.post-1520977543618433072017-08-13T20:33:20.762-04:002017-08-13T20:33:20.762-04:00Thanks, Susan—what a compliment!

I love CAS, for which I have you to thank, Susan, and I'm rather a minimalist in my designs. I don't like fru-fru stuff and will never be a die-cutter. I like unusual embellishments such as shaped paper clips, buttons, wall paper, fabric patterns (dogs, cats, frogs, etc.). I do some stamping, coloring, embossing, and paper punches, along with bleach, washi, wire—anything kind of flat is fair game!bluejeanneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05192290905096596217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9008375791436102784.post-90006247344587956022017-08-12T17:40:12.251-04:002017-08-12T17:40:12.251-04:00I recently had one of those don't.know.how.it....I recently had one of those don't.know.how.it.happened experiences at Hobby Lobby. I came home with 2 LARGE pads of patterned paper. And I hardly even know how to use patterned paper....... <br />So I am making thank you cards with......yep......patterned paper! <br />And I actually like them! <br />Thanks, Susan, for your thoughtfulness and your inspiration! <br />Marty 😉martyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08143381768255075904noreply@blogger.com
