***Edited*** Hopefully the picture looks somewhat better now. I figured out what is wrong with my camera, and I now need to use it on manual focus only until I either get it fixed or purchase a new camera. <strike>I will apologize ahead of time, but my camera has gone into an early retirement, so I am having to make do with a sub. As soon as I can, I will replace my photos with some better lighted ones.</strike></div>

</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
First off, I would like to apologize for the poor quality of the photo. My camera decided it was retiring without any notice and my sister is borrowing my small point and shoot, so I had to take my picture with my phone. Luckily with today's technology I could still get it into Photoshop and fix it a little. {As soon as I can, I will update the picture.}</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This card here is for the newest challenge over at <a href="http://www.365cards.blogspot.com/">365 Cards</a>. The prompt is 1, 2, 3 Done:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Create a card using 1 technique, 2 stickers (I used a piece of washi tape as a sticker), and 3 embellishments.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used the Score-Pal to emboss a some lines as my technique. The label sticker is from Simple Stories Sn@p stickers and the washi tape is from Queen and Co. The three embellishments are from Prima Marketing. I also cheated and added a sentiment to my sticker which is from the <a href="http://www.marketstreetstamps.com/great-big-greetings/">Great Big Greetings</a> set from Market Street Stamps.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Create a card using a button and a bow as the only embellishments.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The quote is form the Market Street Stamps <a href="http://www.marketstreetstamps.com/believing-butterfly/">Believing Butterfly</a> set and the patterned paper is from Authentique's <a href="http://authentiquepaper.com/products/Renew">Renew</a> collection.</div>

I am so excited to have a card done, that I actually made without it having to be due for something! Woohoo, yay me!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We are finally getting back to our normal routine in my house now that The Sickness has left. And that means that I was able to get a chance to go down to my craft room and actually do some crafting!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So I decided to whip out some of my amazing <a href="http://www.marketstreetstamps.com/">Market Street Stamps</a> and make a card. Here is the product of said whipping:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used the wonderful images from the oh so talented Kim Geiser's set <a href="http://www.marketstreetstamps.com/love/">Love</a>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

That yummy patterned paper is from Crate Paper's <a href="http://www.cratepaper.com/default.aspx?PageID=252&CategoryID=482&ProductID=4899&RootCatCode=03000">Fourteen</a> collection and the embossing folder is by Lifestyle Crafts <a href="http://lifestylecrafts.com/products/embossing-folders/sweetheart.html">Sweetheart set</a>. Not to forget the decorative tape, it's from <a href="http://www.bellablvd.net/Default.aspx">Bella Blvd</a>.</div>

What a week it has been!! Hope your's has been better than mine! The oldest has had a hacking cough since the beginning of the week, and things just seem to be going down hill from there with fevers and such. Hopefully we can get her seen today and get her some prescribed meds to help her not feel so miserable. That coughing just does not want her to be able to rest!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Well today is another new challenge over on the <a href="http://www.365cards.blogspot.com/">365 Cards</a> blog with the prompt being </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Skewed: Make it where all of the elements of the card are skewed (not straight). </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And here is my example: </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The patterned paper is from Crate Paper's Fourteen collection and the bling is from various manufacturers. The stamp sets, <a href="http://www.marketstreetstamps.com/funky-herringbone/">Funky Herringbone</a> and <a href="http://www.marketstreetstamps.com/birds-of-a-feather/">Birds of a Feather</a>, are from Market Street Stamps.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here is a close-up of the Funky Herringbone. I used Versamark Ink and Ranger Fine Detail black embossing powder to make the background of the Polaroid. I then used Tim Holtz Distress Stains and Water Brush to color in the herringbone. The colors of Distress Stains that I used were Old Paper, Broken China and Spun Sugar.</div>

Good morning! Phew, it's been a whole week since I last posted!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I don't know about you, but my week was certainly filled with a lot. I was busy making some big changes over on the <a href="http://www.365cards.blogspot.com/">365 Cards</a> blog, working on some great things coming up for the ladies over at Peachy Keen, went to a bridal shower for one of my best friends from high school, and the normal running around for the family.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But, I am glad to be back today! We have a great challenge over at <a href="http://www.365cards.blogspot.com/">365 Cards</a>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The prompt is Wiggle It!: Create a card with a 3D element that moves.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I chose to use Action Wobbles on pears for my movement. The pears are from the <a href="http://www.peachykeenstamps.com/products/PK_239_Faceless_Fruit-117-0.html">Faceless Fruit</a> set from Peachy Keen Stamps and there is a sneak peek here for a brand new release coming tonight from them.

Today is the first Saturday challenge of the new year over at <a href="http://www.365cards.blogspot.com/">365 Cards</a>! But before I get to my card, I have some special news! Starting at the beginning of this year I have become co-hostess of the 365 Cards blog along side Pam, who started it all. She has been doing an awesome job and I am just glad to be able to help take over some of the hard work that she does to keep it going. There will be some new and fun things changing and going on throughout this month, so make sure to stop by and let us know how we are doing!!</div>
