Merry Making

On the spur of the moment, Monday I signed up for the Merry Making class at Online Card Classes. I have never taken a class there before and decided to sign up because I liked the sneaks, but to be honest I didn’t have too many expectations. Plus, I am still getting settled in the new home and super busy, so I wasn’t sure if I’d be able to do much. But then I started watching the first two videos/examples, and I was blown away!!! I just had to try those techniques! So here are my first two cards. I love that I learned something new, and I love how these cards turned out!

The first card I made is this bokeh background. Love it! I used Distress Oxide inks for the background – peacock feathers, salty ocean, faded jeans and black soot.

 

Check out the next post to see the second card I made!

October BYOC at The Lilypad and Happy DSD!

Hello! Tomorrow is Digital Scrapbooking Day (and it’s also Cardmaking Day!), and the party starts early at The Lilypad! There are lots of fun games and prizes in the forum, and the October BYOC was released today (and everything in the store is 30% off through the weekend!!). Here’s what I made with it:
