My card for Susanna is cheeky, eh?!!! I love it and I bet she does too, if a little ruefully.

I didn't have to colour a thing! I pulled out my Steampunk Debutante paper from Graphic 45 and used one of their elegant images for the ever elegant Susanna! Easy peasy gorgeousness!

I combined 3 ribbons to create my d'vine bow and then I glued a brad from the Gabrielle collection by Bo Bunny on the top with some super strong fabric adhesive. I used wide brown satin from Offray for my large bow and the other ribbon and crochet trim are from the Sienne Collection by Making Memories.

This is another word art digi sentiment from Create with tlc. I think this quote is originally attributed to Bette Davis, but I could easily be wrong! I love it!

HB, SB!!! You keep getting better every year! Now go to the Paper Craft Planet blog and try to win one of the MANY prizes up for grabs!!!

F4S24 Garden Pickin!

I took a little time this morning to play the challenge on splitcoast - Free for All.  Today's challenge is to use anything growing in the garden.  I have some Graphic45 Botanicabella paper and tag accessories, which were perfect for this challenge;

Since my images were pre-made, this card took all of 30 minutes to make.  I am so prone to pondering and taking forever to make decisions for my cards, that this one just might be a record for shortest time evah!

Have a marvelous weekend, all!

If you know me, you know I have great respect for all these wonderfully thought out details.  To go the extra mile, look what these wonderful people did for their steam punk perfection;
