An Experiment...

So, my camera is doing strange things and I am struggling with the pictures it is taking. That is why I have not posted anything recently.

Well, I had a thought. I have one of those 3-in-1 Printer/Scanner/Copier things. I have been wondering if I could scan my cards. The scan is not as pretty as a photo I might take. You know, pretty background, more definition, etc.. But I thought, let me give this a try.

So here is my scan of a card I made for a workshop I am doing on Saturday. I was inspired by a card in the current Stampin' Up! catalog, with a few tweaks to make it my own.

All supplies used are Stampin' Up! unless specified otherwise.

Stamp Sets: Flower Shop, A Fitting Occasion, August Paper Pumpkin Kit stamps

Cardstock: Marina Mist, Night of Navy, Very Vanilla

Specialty Designer Series Paper: Typeset

Classic Inks: Marina Mist, Night of Navy, Hello Honey

Craft Ink: Whisper White

Punches: Pansy, Modern Label, Word Window

Ribbon & Trim: Very Vanilla 1/2" Seam Binding Ribbon, Linen Thread

Adhesives: Tombow Mono Multi Liquid Glue, Stampin' Dimensionals

Okay, so it took me a little while to get the image on here. I had to convert the scan, which is a pdf file, into a jpg file. But I got it done! Yay! Now I might be able to do more posts until I can get my camera issue taken care of. 

Anyway, thanks for visiting. Hope to see you soon!

P.S. I got my color combination from a color challenge on handstampedsentiments.blogspot.com . Here is the challenge badge:

Hope you enjoyed my card!
Bye!

International Day of Happiness

Hi everyone!

I know I am a bit behind, but Thursday, March 20, was the International Day of Happiness. I love that song that Pharrell Williams does from the "Despicable Me 2" movie, called "Happy". If you do a search for Internationaldayofhappiness.com you can find a web-site that is 24-hours of this song along with people from all over the world doing their own happy dances. It is just fun to watch and listen to. Check it out sometime!

 I don't know about you, but I think I am a pretty happy person most of the time. One of the things that makes me happy is being able to make cards. One of the cards I made recently just fits this day perfectly. Here it is:
