PDCC118 Submission #2

Here is my second entry to The Play Date Cafe. I learned this technique from Kristina Werner. I cut strips of 2 different shades of blue and embossed with Ultra Thick Embossing Enamel (UTEE for short).  I think it gave it a nice wet/nautical look which goes nicely with the star!

Supplies: star Jolee's sticker, UTEE, seam binding, circle punch

Berry Berry Mediocre

I bought the most delicious strawberries the other day...and I ate them, then I found these little berries in my stash and felt inspired...and full :)!

Some days you feel like you rocked it as a mom, wife, worker, and cardmaker, and somedays, not so much. This is one of those cards that had a lot of potential and then fell flat at the end. Maybe it is the color combo or the speckled chocolate sprinkles on the kraft cardstock, but the berry is not as a standout as it was when I bought the package of them. I might try again with a brighter color scheme. Anyhoo, I'm still posting it because I made it with love.

Also some of you wanted to know who won the card competitions. You can find one here:
