Happy 13th

My granddaughter Taylor who will be 13 in May and I thought this image from www.firecrackerdesignsbypamela.com would be great to use. I fussed with this so much and it's still not how I wanted it, but I'm calling it done.

I stamped the image with Versamark then StazOn and heat embossed with clear ep, then I colored it with Koh-I-Noor woodless color pencils and blended it with Ginak's OMS and blending stumps. I've had these paper doilies hanging around forever so I cut the centre out of one and adhered it to some vellum with what I thought looked like party flecks on it and cut and added the image with pop dots. punched both ends of cs added some satin ribbon and pink and blue rain dots.

For the inside I used the other doily and the centre of the first one, sponged the edges, stamped happy birthday and added that to the pink vellum insert.

That's it for today.

Hope you all have a wonderful Easter weekend

Thanks for visiting me today

Problems with Blogger

OKAY, Is it just me are what? I had a problem with blogger all day yesterday and now again today. If you are reading this then I 'm having a bit of success. I say a bit, because it won't let me post a picture, nor can I seem to leave comments on other blogs.
I keeps getting this
"oops this link is broken" message, and if I can get on the blog I can't leave a message.
SO WHAT'S UP WITH THAT?

Anywhooooo, I will try again later today, as there is no sense writing a novel if it don't show up.

Fingers crossed lol

Oh wow, I was busy last night trying out something I loved the minute I saw it on some blog ages ago.
It always looked so complicated to do so although I drooled every time I saw it I never attempted it.
Well all that has changed now, and thanks to Leah I am totally hooked.

My habit of jotting things down on scrap pieces of paper is going to be my downfall I tell you. I did write down her blog, but can't find it right now. I will edit this post as soon as I find it.

She made this so easy to understand and you have to see the beauties she made.

Now this one is pretty plain because I wanted to try it out first, oh and sorry for the picture quality, but i really
couldn't wait to show that I DID IT.
Yay me. LOL

As you can see above, I messed up with the birthday stamp, I should have taken into account that the lid would cover it. That
was my first "Duh" moment.. I just stamped this swirl all around the bottom on the other three sides.

And here she is opened up. "Duh" moment #2 is hidden behind that piece of paper. Yup you guessed it, I was not paying attention and adhered the second box to the wrong side. I wasn't too worried though as this was just a practice run for me.

I also made that bow and a few charms that I will post as soon as I find my new batteries for the camera.

Hope you had a great weekend
