It's been a roller coaster month

Hey everyone:

Hope all is well.  It's been a crazy month, but that's how life works, isn't it :)  I have been creating a lot, but just haven't had a chance to blog like I had hoped; however, I may have a solution to this problem, but am going to see if it works first.

I thought the name of my post today was perfect because not only has it been an up and down month, I had to create a roller coaster themed card for a friend whose son is celebrating his 10th birthday with a roller coaster themed birthday party.

I have been creating birthday cards for Nina for 10 years now and have been having so much fun.  She recently sent me a picture of all the cards I have made for her over the past years and will have that up soon.  It's amazing to see how my card making has changed over the years :)

I used a new tool for me to blend between the sky and grass - snot tape :)  Koren Wiskman showed us how to use it during the On The Make retreat I attended over the summer and it is amazing to use.

 

I have glossy accents on the balloons and the wheels of the coasters (Jim even said the 10 looks like it was coming out of the coaster at the bottom of the tracks).  This was such a fun card to create and always enjoy making cards for Nina and her children each year.

Hope you have a great day

Janet
