My First Day of Blogging!!


ETA: What are the chances?!? The very first card I post on my blog is the first (and only to date) card I've ever gotten published! This card appeared in the Aug 08 issue of CARDS magazine. I had promised to repost the picture in September and ...well, it's November and I'm just getting to it. Thanks for the reminder from one of my posters!

Consider this a Thank You to you for visiting my new blog! I have ventured to Blogland for fear of missing out! There are so many blogs today and it seems like a fabulous way to share what I love with anyone else who might love it as well. So here you go, my first ever blog posting (on my own blog that is)! Stay tuned, I might even start one for my DH's critter business...

By the way, this card is made using the current Level 2 hostess set called Spring Solitude. The set includes a matching wheel, but I did not use it here. The flowers were stamped and embossed in white along the left edge of the kraft cardstock. Then the Thank You stamped in Real Red and the bird in Sahara Sand. The wide grosgrain ribbon is real red, as is the card base.
