CARDS blog Challenge January 2013

IMG_6885

There is a great Paper Smooches prize pack up for grabs on the CARDS blog challenge that ends this week, so I knew I had to play along! I used my new "Cuteasaurus" Paper Smooches set and "Word Salad" and "Sunny Side Up" for this card. I tried taking the pic two different ways, with the paper behind and below...which do you prefer? I'm trying to decide if one way takes a better photo over the other.
 
CARDS blog Challenge January 2013
 
This challenge was a color challenge. I used PTI's Aqua Mist and Simply Chartruse, the grey was from my stash of cardstock. The grass is from a Martha Stewart punch, the hills from PTI, and the embossing is from a Sizzix embossing folder. The polka dots are from the PS "Primary" sent, and the twine is from the Twinery. The challenge goes through tomorrow, so you should definitely check it out if you have time!
 

 
Today I also have to show you the back of my card. I had Jen and Suzanne over today for some stamping, and Jen came with our Christmas presents. She had ordered us personalized stamps that look JUST like our personal blog headers!!!! This is it:

I truly will treasure this forever. I love everything about it...and how cool that it says my blog name on it?! I will stamp this on the back of every card I make. Thanks so much, Jen!

    This is such a cute card. I love the little scene you created. Both photos are great, but perhaps the second one shows off your card better, as there are no distractions in the background. I can't wait to get a card from you with your new, fab, personalized stamp. It is so sweet.

    OMG, Jessica--this is SO cute! Love your little scene! Both photos are great but the plain background shows off the card a little better. VERY COOL personalized stamp too--what a sweet gift!
