Getting Better

Every time I make a new card, I feel like I am getting better. They say practice makes perfect. I say practice shows better results in time. My last card was in the top 5 of Hope Stamps Eternal. I couldn't be any happier. It really made me feel like maybe I finally found something that I could really get good at and would be worth the practice. Thank you all for the comments and support, it really pushes me to strive for the best.
That all being said, Here is my new card. I love it. I think if I was a card, this would be me. I love the colors I used and being Asian American really connects with me. (Nevermind the little whoopsie about the o in you, had a bit of a glue problem)

What I used to make this card
-Basic Grey Nook and Pantry Paper
-Geisha Stamp by Teri
-3d flower by K&Co

Learning New Things

Today I am going to sit down and learn more about blogs. In a short time, I have learned quite a lot. From changing the template to posting links to other blogs that I like. I'd really like to learn how to post badges from other blogs.

For today, I am posting a pic of a card I made for the owner of the local stamping store called Stampin Cat Studio.  I used Stampin up stamps and Prismacolor with OMS.

I am back

I am finally back after the crazy holidays. From my daughter's first birthday to Thanksgiving, then christmas, and having family visit from 3000 miles away was fun.

I have just recently gotten into Copic markers. I do have to admit, they are amazing. I am still learning how to use them and trying to collect colors that blend well from the same color family.

Here is a card I just made for The Greeting Farm Relay Contest. It is a week long contest that consists of 1 card to has to be made and posted in a 24 hour window. I had some problems with my printer first not printing any black. Then I had to hand draw the outline in black prismacolor to darken it up. All in all though, I am happy with it.

Snowman Card

This is a new card I made with the Winter Woodland cartridge. I heat embossed the snow and the snowflakes. I really enjoyed making this card.
