My sweet Sissy has offered advice about the look of this blog...said that the white text on the black ground made her eyes hurt and I don't want my sister to be put off reading! So, for now dear interweb, go with this custard background....it's all a bit twee I know, but I do like the plain look. I visit a lot of blogs and you'll be totally unsurprised to know that I have an opinion about the look of them. This one has to be uncluttered and undecorated; first to reassure my family that I'm not turning into a geek and second, I really LIKE that I can go straight to the words without distraction. And as this is my molecule of cyber space, it's all good. I expect you'll experience a change too often while I try to settle on colours and stuff..I may go back to black - gosh isn't that a trendy song? I may go back to black and increase the font size. As changes occur, tell me what suits your eyes!
This card is a response to the Daring Cardmaker's challenge...patchwork. hmmm, the Royal purple looks black and the very contrasting flower centres look pink and they're purple. What the hell. There's a patchwork style stamp in the background and even a pin! I know, I impressed myself with the connection - it may be obvious to you reader, but finding the pins is up there as today's little miracle. Oh - that and the fact that I cut the flowers on the Cricut!! User guilt - yes. And convenience - I had it set up to cut some titles for a project that Miss Dunnit is working on!

hmm, I'll save judgement for the next colour ;0) lol....isn't it pooey when your photo looks nothing like your card (colourwise)..well I think it looks great anyway :0)
LOL...we can rely on our sisters to be straight and blunt!! :) The patchwork stamping effect looks lovely, however the colour has come out on the photo :) A lovely card overall.

I like the patchwork stamp thats lovely. Why don't the colours ever look like they do in real life, still never mind a nice card.
Hello Julia,
I have awarded you with a blog award because I love your blog and love coming over and seeing what you are upto. You can either keep it to yurself or give it to 7 other blogs its up to you. Love Jo xx
I like the new colour scheme actually but as I am one of the cluttery-type bloggers my opinion is probably useless!!
I like the card too Jules but I feel your pain over the photography thing. It never looks like it does IRL.
Oh well, there are worse things going on in the world I suppose!!!
Hugs,
Caryn xxx
Hey sissy, LOVE the custard cream ...:)
Love the combination of colours and images on the card...the raised flowers look fab.
I must admit, custard looks ok....but the black had more impact for me...Have fun on your journey of colour....its fun having a dabble! xx
