Notably Ornate along with Welcome Christmas Stampin Up Stamps!
good Friday Morning
well today's progess was much better then yesterdays that is for sure lol!
sooooooooooo I started with a fabulous sketch that Lesley created for our Stampaholics 10 min challenge!
all right let me show you what I was thinking at first okay
I took out some very Vanilla Cardstock
took out two stamp sets and changed my mind
yes me I changed my mind too funny uh??? LOL
went with Welcome Christmas and Notably Ornate
here's where I start my timer!
I used my stampin write marker
this is Early Expresso
i did the two little flowers on either side with Baja Breeze
interesting combonation I know!
things are coming together very nicely
now I am going to do some sponging
with Baja Breeze
I am feeling like I may run out of time!
GHUHR
this part was easy
put then after this I ran into some difficulties
take a look what happened!!!
ahw poor little Baby Max
he wanted to visit with his mama
goodess
it`s hard to make a card with this!
lol
(not to mention that I sit on a ball lol)
how could I not stop what I was doing for that face!!!
okay sorry
I am back to the card now
now for my little accent piece on the side
I went with some pretty little lace ribbon
ofcourse I am out of time at this point
voila there is my card
even with a little Max time I got it done lol
in less then 15 min
now we all know that is amazing for me right!
I wonder how wonderful my sis did!
kinda pretty don`t you think
i just think this little 1/8" ribbon is so very very pretty!
pretty little bling bling
I hope you enjoyed my card today
hopefully better then yesterday lol

Beautiful card. Max and Bijou must have been in collaboration as she needed some attention also and I had to stop and give her some attention also!

It's a beautiful card. I love all the images I've seen in the mine. Can't wait to see the waffler paper, sounds interesting. Maxie looks right at home in your arms. He is such a cutie!

WOW! The card is gorgeous--very vintage! Great job!

Gorgoeus card. Love how you have combinded the two stapms. I had thought of that. My dog Sam would curl up in my lap if I let him, the only thing stoping him is the fact he weighs 34kg.

What a beautiful vintage-looking card! And done in only 15 min!! This looks like it took much more time. Way to go Carole'Anne!!

Love the card Carole' Anne. The bling sets it off. This set makes me think of Tiny Tim. I so love to watch "A Christmas Carol" during the holidays.
Little Max looks like he is suffering so (NOT!). What a lucky boy to have you for his mom!

Stunning--the touch of lace is just so perfect. I really like the color palette you used. Give Max a doggy hello and have a great weekend.
