Just popping in for a minute tonight. I have a little time on my hands, waiting for my crew to get home as they've had a daddy/daughter day today. A few months ago, there was a beautiful challenge photo on the Nichole Heady's blog that I just had to try, but never got around to posting.
The colors and patterns are so beautiful and definitely outside of my norm.
I used the Remember stamp set along with Friendship Jar for the sentiment and lots of assorted flower dies such as Notched flowers, Bloom Builders II #1, Flower Fusion #3, etc. The sentiment was stamped on a tag cut using the Tiny Tags die and the scrunched seam binding is Spring Moss from Craft Spot.
And one more, using that same sentiment from Friendship Jar...clearly one of my favorites. This card uses oodles of Maya Road including one of my very most favorite stamp sets, Our Town. I also used a Mini Kraft Jotter tag and a sweet Metal Love Hanger.
Hope your week is off to a great start!
Thanks for your visit.

Wow! That green, black and white is stunning together. No matter the color combo, you always make something wonderful! :)

Oh, that first one is just *stunning*... I love how you interpreted the challenge. And the little hanger on the second? Adorable. The FJ sentiments are all some of my favourites - they are just perfection :)

What a gorgeous color combination!

I remember that photo on Nicholes blog and maybe these are not your usual go-to-colors but your card definitely just as stunning like all the other handmade gems made by you. A gorgeous image and topped off with a flower in an amazing color combo and I love the layering. Your second card is besides gorgeous also cute. Due to that adorable metal hanger. And that center piece is a focal point that made me sigh...

Physical appearance definitely matters during a job interview. It is a common belief that job interviews are won during the first few minutes, and what better way to impress an interviewer in the early stages than to look and act professionally?
