TKJ 7

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

Well, I let my first year blogaversary pass without mention, no blog candy, no nuttin'...

But I do want to say thank you to all my readers, my Papercraft Star team, and my favorite blog challenges, both the Kraft Journal and City Crafter... When I think that just one short year ago I knew nothing about all this, and hadn't met any of you yet, wow !!!

Today's Kraft Journal challenge was a little different, the theme is BLING ! Now Kraft and Bling may seem like they don't connect at first thought, but I am hoping I brought it off.

I used a Sizzix texture fade for the circled hearts, cut out a random pattern, tapped some white ink on it lightly, and added some stickles around the edge. In fact, I do believe I have a ton of stickles all over this !!

We have a single very very large room with two fireplaces, that combine a dining room, a living room, a little media area, even a second eating area. Everything is all monochromatic green - but if I were to change the colors I would pick this color combo.

Cardstock - Recollections
Design Paper - DCWV
Frame - The House across the Bay etsy shop
Sentiment stamp - Tim Holtz
Embossing - Sizzix, Cuttlebug'
Flower - MME
Stickles - Tim Holtz
Ribbons, jewelry cording, button - stash

  3. I love this color combo, too. My very, very, very favorite color is actually chocolate brown, and I'm a bit fan of neutrals. You've worked these together just beautifully. I adore those embossed circles and how you cut a random section of them, and I love the sentiment, too. Thank you so much for playing along with us again at the Kraft Journal. We always love to see your creations. :)
    And congrats on your blogaversary!

  4. Okay Kraft Queen, you've done it again. Perfect combo of papers and colors. I'm a brown kind of giel myself. Earth tones are just so soothing to me. Beautiful card Jan! Thanks for sharing it with us this week at The Kraft Journal!
