Well, it's been three whole weeks since I've posted anything at all. For shame! (lol) I've enjoyed a wonderful Christmas holiday away with my daughter Erin, her husband Mike, my son Michael, and our four grandboys. As much as I love being with them, it sure is GOOD to be home!
While I was away, I received a surprise e-mail from Maggie, owner of the Cuttlebug Challenge blog, inviting me to design for them. Well, the design team talent over there is tremendous, and since I regularly participate in their great challenges anyway, I said YES.
Here are my first creations for the blog...it's Asian challenge week. I hope you'll visit and perhaps join the challenges! These cards also fit this week's "Cute Card Thursday" challenge...use something new. I used some beautiful new Asian Chiyogami papers for my iris folding and kimono cards.
I used Asian Chiyogami papers for this iris folded kimono, and a Cuttlebug tag die for the belt.
Stamps for this card are from Stamp It Australia.
Okay, can you believe I actually MADE this knot!? (lol) I used Mizuhiki cord. Those who know me are aware of my spatial challenges; this little embellishment took me longer to make than all the cards combined!
The belt embellishment here is an old earring, I lost its matching partner, so it now has new life!
THANKS for stopping by today...if I have a link, I'll stop by your place too!
