Raquel,
WOW!!. Very pretty house and I love the BIG kitchen with all the counter space. LOVE the color of your cabinets, very nice! We lived in a four BR two story a few years back and it was very pretty, but after a while it was too big just for the three of us. Still wish we had kept it though. If I find a picture of it I will post it to share Edited by user Saturday, January 26, 2013 6:00:48 PM(UTC)

Raquel...beautiful house. I can't wait to see what you do to your craft room. I was able to finish one card today, which ended up totally different from how it started out. I was trying to use the ad colors and I just should have stopped and started over. The Magnolia Tilda stamp is colored with Copics, the background paper is from and old KC & Company paper pack the rest are from my scrap pile. The banners are a punch and the waves are a MFT diecut. I hope to get back in the morning and post some comments. All the cards look great. Dee [img=http://]  [/img]

Well a lot more packing yesterday and going to be a lot of it today too! I guess you don't really realize how much stuff you have until you need to put them in boxes
I did manage to finish 2 cards two days ago but wasn't able to take pictures of them until today... so here is the first one Cartridges used: Sentimentals * Wild CardYes, another sympathy card  ... I really don't like these

Such a pretty card for #1, love those flowers, great 2nd card cute owl, like the scary card for #3. Oh my your ad colour card is so different from the rest but it looks great, love all the colours they will love it I am sure. Raquel - WOW your house looks wonderful, I bet you can't wait now. Both cards are lovely, sorry the 1st one is a sympathy card but it is beautiful. 2nd card very cute, love how you have used the free image along with the other. Is the other the one you won last week? Good luck with the packing. Turtlebug - Cute card for the ad colours, I just love the swirls of gold on the bg cardstock. Sue

Sue No, actually, that image is a freebie from a while ago. I haven't used the image I won (it's a "bear with cupcake" that I chose)

I've never been in the Brownwood area since it's like 200+ miles north of where I am. I'm moving from Coral Springs to Parkland... about 15 minutes driving distance from where I currently live now. We have been having GREAT weather though... nice and cold at night and cool breeze during the day

Hello Michelle – nice to see your great collection of cards! Beautiful flowers on Sketch #1 and love the assortment of papers! Cute owl card! Great card for Sketch #3 – the paint drop border works really well with the skulls and bones! What a wonderful special request card - the ripped edges work well and really colourful images – nice colouring!
Raquel – beautiful home! Despite all the packing you must be anxious to move in! Beautiful cards – your sympathy card is very elegant and the Valentine bear is really adorable. Great job with the “xo banner”! TFS the photo of your daughter and her award!
Dee – wow! Beautiful card in the ad colours!
Turtlebug – love your “you rock” card! Nice embossing, great image and the added gems to the background paper look really good!
BingoLady – Great western theme card in the ad colours!
Joanne – nice to see you here! Pretty teacup card!

Love your DDF card as well! Love the paper, and beautiful banner! Of course that bear digi is too cute too! Love the picture of your daughter with her award and drawing! Sue, the digi Raquel is using is from one of the 25 days Of Christmas freebies!Remember the Halloween bear on the candy digi?!?! BingoLady, ok, love the cowboy/cowgirl hat! That embossing folder you used is just perfect on your card too! Joanneorbash, love the tag, and teacup and saucer! Lovely paper as well! So pretty! Turtlebug, Love those flowers! You did a great job on them! They do take awhile to do don't they, but they are so worth it don't you think! Lovely card! So pretty!

Have really gotten behind on posting my comments, but I will try to get as many posted before dinner and finish the rest later.
JoyfulCarol
#2 - Like the color combo and the pretty pitcher with the flowers. The pretty semi-glossy pattern BG paper matches the rest of the card perfectly. Very nice card!
Gisele
#2 - You should be very happy with how this card turned out.....it is so pretty, love everything about it, especially the Robin with the greenery and ALL the layering going on!
Raquel
Last Weeks' #1 Sketch - Very pretty!! LOVE the simple two-tone theme and the papers are beautiful!
JFC - Very nice, like the big bow, flowers and the banners with the lace.
Sandy
#3 - Pretty! Like how you halved the center circle with the plain/printed paper. Like the banner ALOT, the pearl heart is very pretty.
AcrossThePond
#2 - Very cute Bunny card, like the BG paper, Easter eggs and the popped Bunny. Looks nice on the flipped side, too!
Well, just got kicked off the MB as I was ALMOST done with all of Page #2, just had Shelby's last card to comment on and then POOF...all gone. Good thing I had hit SAVE at the end of Page #1...UUUUGGGGGG!! Will now go make dinner till I simmer down over this and come back later! Edited by user Sunday, January 27, 2013 5:31:23 PM(UTC)

I try to avoid YouTube as much as possible because when I go in there for tips and tutorials I can't stop! I just watch videos after videos! LoL!
Usually one video will lead to a completely different subject from when I started like watching heat embossing then I end up watching handmade flowers

TurtleBug: I'm so sorry you're going through the lost post issue (I still get that once in a while). I do really like the way you posted your card though even if its an attachment. I never mind clicking those to make the image bigger. Your card is so pretty and YES making your own flowers... so time consuming but the results are worth it. Wonderful job with your first time making those. I still have never made any of those rolled up ones

Here is my Sketch#1! The flower frame is Accent Essentials and the flowers were made with Plantin Schoolbook - 5 petal rose (4 layers each, sprayed and scrunched) Have a great day!  PS - This is the first time that I upload directly into the message. Hope it is not too large!

Gisele: Wow what a very pretty card! Love the neutral tones and how those flowers turned out. I completely forgot that cartridge had other things besides font. Your image is not too large, it's just perfect for all of us to see the details!

Goodmorning Ladies,
Had a devil of a day yesterday with the message board. I have not left out anyone intentionally. After I get a little housework done I will return to try and finish my comments!
Thanks!
