Pam's EM Showcase
14 January 2013
Hi Everyone. Happy Monday. I hope you all had a great weekend.
It's my pleasure to showcase Pam's cards for the Enchanted Makeover card drive. Once again, a great set of inspiration for you with lots of different SU stamps, fabulous color combos, a wide variety of occasions. I loved that Pam used lots of shapes and punches on her cards, light distressing, lots of ribbon and hand coloring. I looked at some of Pam's color choices and thought... NOW... why on earth didn't I ever think to combine those colors, they work so well together! So, thank you Pam, for participating and sharing these wonderful cards. I know that the shelter residents will love sending out these cards.
I'd love it if you left a little card love for Pam on this post. I know she would appreciate it, too.
If you click on the card below, it should take you directly to Pam's showcase. Why did I choose this card? Well, I LOVE the color scheme. The pink and white with the black is crisp and clean. Pam also placed her sentiment somewhere I never do - and it showed to me that I need to be more flexible!:-) The sentiment is perflectly balanced against the offset image (again, something I never do) and the offset background layer. The paper piercing on the background layer, also forces your eye to travel around the card, once again highlighting the focal point. All round this card is fabulous!
On a personal note:
Lou and I are loving our new walk in closet. It really looks so organized and fabulous. This weekend we will be taking the white melamine storage pieces that were in the master WIC and putting them into the mud-room. Organization is key for me... whether it's in my craft room, my walk in closet or the kitchen. It doesn't matter what it is - I have to organize it! However, it takes me some time to live in a place and use each of the areas before I can determine how best to organize it. That's why we are still organizing 8 months after we moved into our new home. 8 months!!!!!??????????? Has it really been 8 months???? I find it hard to remember that at this time last year the house was just a mere shell of itself. Walls, basic floors and a roof! Now, it's the home we dreamt it would be.
As for my health... I can honestly say that I am feeling much better today. I still have a lingering cough and cannot believe that my nose is still running! My lungs are still very tight, but all round SO much better. I should be able to get back to exercising at the end of the week. I can also taste food again, which maybe isn't such a good thing :-)
As always, thank you for visiting my little area of the stamping blogosphere. Warm hugs and prayers to those of you who need a little lift tonight.
Hugs
Jaydee
