This begins my first attempt in the blogging world, so please pardon my less than interesting design and general lack of know-how. I've never attempted a blog until now because, quite frankly, I didn't think I had anything worth saying (and honestly, I still don't!) However, as I have become more involved in papercrafting I thought it would be fun to have a blog to keep track of my progress and so I could join in the fun at blog hops and contests. So here is the very first project I am posting:
I made this card with supplies from Papertrey Ink. - the paper is Ocean Tides and Vintage Cream, the ribbon and buttons are True Black, and the stamps are from the anniversary set and the Mehndi Medallion. I just cut the Vintage cream shape with the Storybook cartridge for the Cricut Expression and I stamped the background with Versamark ink. I am pretty happy with how it turned out, all in all. I can tell this is going to be a very time consuming (and expensive!) hobby, but I can't wait to learn more!
