I've Got a Crush!

On VSN mini that is.  Well, that and Jonathan Rhys Myers from the Tudors but that's another post for another blog.  VSN mini however is a post for now on this blog!  :)  I had so much fun yesterday learning new techniques, finding new places for inspiration, and chatting with new friends.  Hopefully, I will see YOU at the next VSN in February.  Here are a few projects I made:

This is for the something old, new, borrowed, and blue challenge.  I made this card to look like my husband and I.  His favorite colors are orange and blue, can you tell?  I used Shimmerz for the first time on my pink coat, I really need to learn how to take better pictures of the Shimmerz, they are so much fun!  I usually take pictures in indirect light as opposed to direct sunlight since I don't want to over expose my pictures but that might be just the thing for Shimmerz.  Also, I used Crystal Effects on the puddle but you can't see that either.  I think that could be solved by the same photography trick.

This is my very first scrapling which is a smaller more narrow card.  Mine is actually 2 inches wide by 5.5 inches tall.  It's a fun way to use up scraps.  This uses Unity's August KOTM.
This card is for the "Tender Love" challenge to make a card with something soft.  My soft thing is the felt flower.  I wanted to make a kid card since I'm still trying to make cards for the Cards for Kids thing.  The image is from Pink Cat Studio.
Here's my first A2 Box and I was so worried about how it would turn out.  I don't do a lot of 3D projects but every time I do, I'm always surprised at how easy they are!  I need to get over my fear!  This uses Unity's August KOTM again.

  11. Oh Wow Ashley!!! So many cute cards!!!!!

    I find the best way to get a great shimmerz picture is actually to use no flash at all or get in really poor light and turn your card just a bit and you get great shimmer.

    Hop over to my blog and look at my Post from Friday the Anya Card and it shows you how to get a good Shimmerz view.
