Wish Me Luck!!

I did it! I finally did it -- I created my very own blog!


Wish me luck because it will a huge learning experience and I'll need that luck as I'm making all these big decisions by saying 'eeny-meeny-miny-mo....'.


Let's start off the first post with a bang, with the announcement that DRS Designs is this week's sponsor of that wonderful wealth of card sketches, Card Positioning Systems. Here is the featured sketch of the week:





I rotated the sketch 90 degrees to create this card:




Stamps by DRS Designs: Butterflies/Flowers M385, Butterfly sentiment G222, Ribbon Sliders C790.Cardstock: Certainly Celerly, Lovely Lilac, GP110 white.Ink: Certainly Celery, Lovely Lilac, Versafine Onyx Black.Accessories: Circle Punch, Pearl Ex, celery organdy ribbon.





DRS Ribbon slides are so versatile; check out their blog challenge this week which also just happens to include blog candy!




So there we have it, my very first post on my very first blog. Excuse the construction dust which will probably be present for many weeks to come. All blogging advice is greatly appreciated!

  6. Jennifer E says it the best. Not only is it as addicting as stamping, it kinda cuts into your stamping time too. You get so excited looking at all of the blogs, and adding more and more to your "inspirational list" of things to do. LOL Well, you probably already know that from blog hoppin, huh?! Great card, beautiful colors!! :) Kel
