Created this Thinking of You Card as an
Encouragement Get Well Card for a friend
that is having some surgery.
Used Spellbinders Bird Sanctuary dies. Positioned
the bird on the perch. Used foam to give the bird
cage 3D dimension.
First time I think for using 2 different polka dotted
pattern papers.

Thank you SO MUCH for letting me know about my win at Diana Larson's blog. I am thrilled! I appreciate your help, and I owe ya one! I entered that challenge so long ago, I had almost forgotten to back and check. I also don't know if it's just me, or if other people have this problem, but when I visit her blog, my computer "lags". I have to wait long perioids of time in between looking at pages, scrolling down, etc. Don't know why. But I am super happy to have won, and I thank you my friend. have a great week!

You're welcome Karen L. When I see a winner's name listed most often I'll contact the person to let them know so they do not miss the deadline of contacting for prize and there are others that have notified me of a win or two so it's nice to give the heads up.
DeleteAs far as lags when checking DLART blog I have that problem sometime also and not sure what causes it but it does not happen with most other blogs.
Have fun with your prize win.

Pretty card- I love the cut of the birdcage/bird and the pretty yellow/blue color combo :)Amy
ReplyDeleteVery pretty card. You are right about the designer paper. When we ask for designer paper we want to see something with a pattern or design on it. However these can include designer papers that you create yourself. I hope that this clears up any confusion.
ReplyDeleteThanks Stacy W. for the clarification on the designer paper. Reason I asked was because I saw some entries with just different papers/cardstocks and not patterns on them.
