A Card A Day #1

I know today is the second of November, but I got really sick yesterday and couldn't get up to make a post for day 1! Sorry :(



What am I drawn to when I shop at my LSS?

City Sidewalks by Pink Paislee...

I made this card using the papers and ephemera. Love the look of vintage Christmas. At the shop in Colorado Springs shop called Simple Pleasures, I was also able to get my hands on some Melissa Francis glass glitter.


I bought some to try to get out of my comfort zone a bit. Sometimes I do this and then the new product just sits, but this time I was determined to use it.

Update:

Thanks to Ashley N Newell's suggestion, I got some Pink Truffle Lip Butter from Revlon and it looks fabulous. Especially with the $6.00 price tag and available at pick up at my local grocery store. Is it nude? No. BUT it's a good tie over till I can get to the fancy mall to try the other color. (if you missed this post, you can read about it HERE).

There is a really great post on this color of lipstick HERE

  2. Gorgeous card, Wida! I hope you are feeling better. I was pretty sick yesterday myself. Fortunately I was already off from work, so I slept quite a bit. I am much better today. Looking forward to the rest of your Christmas cards and your Pink Truffle lip butter photo!

  5. I agree with Miriam - you should show us what it looks like. I have been waiting on a review of the nude lipstick! It is so hard to find a good one for olive skin. Things always look different when I put them on compared to the tube.
