By the skin of my teeth...

That seems like such an odd saying -- "by the skin of my teeth." I'll have to look up what it means. Anyhow, I needed -- per NYRL (New Year's Resolution Law) -- to post a second card before the end of the month. That would be today. So I made a card last night specifically to fulfill this resolution and juuuust barely made it!



This used the Saturated Canary image Princess Rose Red, which is available here. I also used Stampin' Up! designer paper, SU! cardstock, and some ribbon I saved from a Christmas gift (sometimes I'm as excited to get the wrapping as I am for the gift inside!). I masked the image and made the clouds with Tim Holtz distress ink -- a technique I saw both on Krista's (Saturated Canary artist) blog, and while watching some videos on YouTube. Hope you like!

Living up to my New Year's Resolutions

I made a LOT of New Year's Resolutions. A lot. There are daily, weekly, monthly, and annual goals. Several of those goals have to do with card making and blogging. I am required (by New Year's Resolution law) to post two cards a month to my blog, and to enter at least one challenge a month using a card I've posted. It's pretty late in the month, so I need to post this quickly to enter a challenge and post another card by Thursday, eek!

This is a card I created for the Saturated Canary Challenge #35 -- Movie Inspiration. I used Glossy Accents on her glasses frames, and a little glitter on her eyelids and edges of her glasses, which hopefully is visible in the picture below:

The inspiration for this card actually comes from two movies -- "The Christmas Kiss" and "Head Over Heels." I'm a sucker for geek-who-gets-the-guy-of-her-dreams movies and books. I wonder why? ;-)

I'm entering this in the following challenges:

Saturated Canary - Movie Inspiration (The Christmas Kiss and Head Over Heels)

Stampin' for the Weekend - Something Girly


I'm looking forward to more challenges -- I like having parameters to build a card around!
