I have not made a paper crafted card in 2 weeks and I have missed it. Truth is I am in a flare. This time my fingers and hands are being affected. Without going into a good amount of detail it has been painful for me to work with smaller objects so making cards and other paper crafing has been difficult. Today I was determined and decided to work on a card no matter how I felt. My card was made by using the PPA96-Celebrity Color Challenge-Masculine. As a rule I make masculine cards using monochromatic colors so this was a really good challenge for me. However, after I made my card tonight and and was getting ready to upload it to PPA I realized that I was suppose to use Night of Navy not the Not Quite Navy. UGH! Well I am going to play along anyway. :)
Here is my card.
Here is what I used.
Stamps: The pen Sea and Tiny Tags. Card-Stock: Whisper White, More Mustard, Cherry Cobbler and Not Quite Navy. Inks: Cherry Cobbler,Not Quite Navy and More Mustard. Punch: Jewelry Tag Medium. Accessories:More Mustard ribbon, Vintage Trinkets,and Buttons. The Dp that I used is Nautical Expedition.I also used a stipple brush to add some More Mustard ink around the edges of the Whisper White card-stock. All items listed are from Stampin'UP! A very simple card to make.Hope you like it. :)
This week I also made a digital page using the MDS program. I have lots of photos of Colleen's graduation and thought that I would make a page using a couple of her photos. I used a challenge from Soul Scrappers. I made my title using the PSE program.

I have one more thing to share with you. I bought a new lens for my cmera last weekend. I love taking macro photos and have been taking them for years. I've never owned a 1.1 macro lens and have always wanted one. Thanks to Wayne I now have the lens that I have wanted. Here is the very first photo that I took with my new lens.
This is a photo of a few flowers from our Azalea bush in our Memory garden. The flowers are only about 1 1/2 inches in size. Although I am very happy with how this photo came out I had to play around with it of course. Using this photo I changed the color to make it look vintage.
What do you think? I like the warmth and the color. But I also like the original color of the flowers. I would love to hear your opinion. :)
We had quite the weather week. We went from 90 degree hot and humid for a couple of days to a tornado watch all day into the night and then to temperatures of 50 degrees and very windy! Today it was a lovely 60 degrees, windy but with lots of sunshine. A beautiful day for Wayne to work in the gardens. Summer is on the way and it will be very interesting to see what is in store for us this year. I hope that all of you have a wonderful rest of the weekend. Thank you very much for stopping by to see what I have been up to. As always stay safe and Smile. :)
