Pink Chandelier



Hello All,

Its been a mad hectic crazy week with loads going on so I am sorry If I have not been around much, I will do my best to catch up.

I realise this is not the most exciting card, but I thought I would share it with you as I am quite proud of this one.....why?

Well I was watching craft on the TV last week and saw this most gorgeous kit that I really really wanted it, It was a gorgeous pink and black set, so elegant some of the papers had chandeliers, some crowns, and I just loved it!! However as I have just organised my crafting space and reminded myself of just how much stuff I had, at the mo I just feel to guilty to buy more ( I know this will not last long) and so I resisted.......this is the first reason for being pleased with myself.

The second is I have managed to create a similar look using the "My Craft Studio" programme. I have a couple of thier cd's but I do not use it as much as I should I normally just use it for resizing digi stamps. I have taken an image from the "simply silhouettes" cd and have manipulated it and changed the colour e.c.t....to create my own paper and topper.....so I have got the look I fell in love with by using the tools and products I already own.

I have kept the card simple, and just added a little bling.

This is my entry for:

    Well done you, it's amazing what necessity can afford us to create and how much stuff we hoard and never use just because we love it so much. Thanks for joining us at Penny's your card is fab.

    Hi Julia

    I'm still on my mad catch up from my holidays, seems to be taking me forever. Mind you not helped by new puppy muts, not the brightest idea right on the back of our hols.

    Super work as always.
