Hello and Happy New Year! It has been about a month and half since I have posted on my blog. First I wanted a rest from Christmas cards and then I came down with a respiratory infection which lasted about three weeks. During the course of coughing I came to the conclusion that I was allergic to my new leather chair which I had had for five months. The chair was returned to Costco and now I am on my way to feeling good and it is time to make some cards.
This first card of the year 2014 almost coincides with my very first card challenge, which was CASology, dated January 13, 2013. The cue word of dot made me think of this cute stamp set from Our Craft Lounge. There are dots in the actual stamp image and the bubbles are dots. The image was stamped on Neenah paper with Versafine and then heat embossed with clear embossing powder. The dot/bubbles were stamped off before stamping and I used Memento. All the images were colored with copics. The colored image was reduced in size and I rounded the bottom corners and then mounted with mounting tape onto a second piece of Neenah paper.
With crossed fingers I hope this gets posted. My last two entries last year were totally goofed up and the CASology post I doubt got posted but the one for ATCAS was posted. I really have struggled with Blogger and Internet Explorer and then switched to Mozilla Firefox and kept getting cookie notices. Apparently many people have had this problem and if that is not bad enough the dang Yahoo (P.U.) continues to change the format and I don't know how to get around the changes. Tuesday I am going to my computer lab for some Help!.
