More Convention Pics and a Swap

Of all the swap cards I've ever made, this one was probably the most difficult for me. Why, you ask? It's so simple, what can be so hard about it?

Well, that was the problem. If you know me, you know I like my cards like I like my cake...with lots of layers. The more, the merrier! This Stampin' Addicts organized swap was for a single layer card. No matting images, no popping things up on dimensionals, no DSP, none of the usual shtuff. So that is why I had the hardest time with this one. It kept looking so nekkid, like it needed something more!

SU-Only Challenge #47

Now here is one challenge near and dear to my heart, for sure. The theme for this week's SUO Challenge #47 is Fancy Frills, and anything frilly, girly, or bling-y is right up my alley!

When I saw the new Finishing Touches Edgelits my heart sang, because there was a beautiful replacement for the retired Eyelet Border punch. I used the eyelet die on this card, layered with the new Large Scallop Edgelits.  Aren't they purdy together? They remind me of a little girl's dress!

The birds on the branch are from the Serene Silhouettes stamp set, which was at the top of my stamp wish list, too! Every one of the four images in that set will be put to good use in the coming months.
