Happy Friday. I've been really busy these last couple of days watching my grandkids. So fun...so exhausting. And now I'm having issues with my computer, or my camera card, or, let's face it, I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed when it comes to the techie world. I downloaded a new picture program and whenever I do that it's always an issue for a while when I try to get to my pictures (which explains my poor photo crop on this post). Anyway OCCC has a great challenge called "Office Supplies with a Twist" So make a card using office supplies, with a twist of red. Cool, huh! So what better card then a Congratulations card for a person with a new teaching job. So with my stamps, paper, ink, red paper clip, binder clip, red pencil, red "Sign Here sticky, red string, staples, red push pin, and extras from my paper crafting hero, The Funkie Junkie, I went to work on the project, I didn't like my first scissors so I did another using clear embossing powder. It was a new sealed jar so I had to take off the plastic with my micro-tip scissors. Guess what? I cut my pointer finger and bleed like you wouldn't believe. I almost got blood on my card, which, being red, maybe wasn't such a bad idea. I bleed for my craft. Haha! The only things of note are 1) The embossed scissors, and 2) the gold embossed Congratulations with the red marked in between the gold bars. Hope you enjoy. And click on my links in this post. You'll be glad you did. Thanks, Lisa.jpg)

Oh Lisa this is just BEAUTIFUL! I love how you have used a pencil on your cardfront - brilliant. Thank you for joining us at Our Creative Corner this week!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE your card, Lisa. It's just too cute! The red looks awesome against the distressing and sponged edges and all the office supplies you incorporated work beautifully!

ReplyDeleteWOW, Lisa, I love how you arranged all the office supplies. Looks like the "office work" you did before you retired is paying off...LOL!! Sorry you were wounded in action, I'm sure it won't keep you away from your craft room. :)
