card class, week one

Isn't my blog cute? Thanks Tammy! And Shabby Blogs! :) Now I just need to come up with a new name for it. Any suggestions? Maybe I'll have some sort of contest in the future if I can't think of something on my own.

My mom tended two of my nieces last week, and then Sunday was a family dinner. I'm still laughing at the things that came out of my nieces' and nephew's mouths! I will have to share them sometime.

I'm taking an online card class for the next 4 weeks, and this is my take on the first assignment:

I love the bright colors they had us use. That is white that I used. I don't know why it didn't photograph that way. I edited the picture on my laptop, since that's the computer with Photoshop Elements, but it doesn't have the internet yet, so I had to transfer it to my desktop in order to put in on this blog. Maybe one of the monitors has the color settings wrong. Hopefully it will appear ok for you.

And here's a close up of the bottom of the card so you can see how I made it scalloped:

I don't know how to do those fancy supply lists that link you to places to buy the supplies like I have seen on other blogs, so I will just tell you what I used.

I think that's all that I used. Now wish me luck that I win a prize!
