It's also a Belated card for their 46th Wedding Anniversary.

And I also have a link to her blog on my sidebar.
I have been SICK for almost a week now. (My hubby started it this time) He was sneezing and coughing more than a week ago...and, as I said before we share EVERYTHING.
I'm not sure if my card followed all the rules. It's the best I could come up with considering how I am feeling right now. I know I was supposed to use Kraft paper (which I did) and colored Pencils...which I did (In fact it's my NBUS, I purchased the colored pencils to use to color images for my one day vacation last September, and never opened the pack. I Made jewelry instead.
I frankly, don't care if it's eligible or not for a prize, (with most of it being paper pieced and not all colored with pencils. I told Darnell a long time ago that I would enter her challenges with or without a prize.
I have entered everyone of the previous 7 challenges and I did NOT want to miss this one either.
How I made my card...
I got my supplies together
and then I rested on the couch for a while..
I stamped my images, and cut out my card stock
and then I went and rested on the couch for a while.
I also stamped some images that I could use to paper piece and then glued then on the card
and then I went and rested on the couch for a while.
I finished gluing my card...
and then rested on the couch for a while.
I then took a photograph
and cropped it and downloaded it to my computer...
And then went and rested on the couch for a while.
I'm finally posting it to my blog
and when I'm done I will go rest on the couch again.
If you think I'm kidding...ask my hubby...
That's how determined I was to get a card in Darnell's challenge.
I will try and comment on other cards when I'm feeling better
WHICH I sure hope is by Tomorrow!!!! Smile
Thanks for visiting my blog,
Blessings,
Jill
Pieced perfection, Jill. And what a darling couple! And you coloring is perfection too. Adorable card!
ReplyDeleteOh, I'm sorry ya'll have been sharing germs & both of you sick. Sometimes it's best not to be 'so together'! (hard not to, though sometimes!) Love your card, and the paper piecing looks great. I entered a Christmas card, no pencil on it, no kraft. Just saw that Darnell was doing the 8 NBUS, and I had a NBUS. Just emailed her to say no problem if it doesn't qualify...I didn't see the rule about kraft & pencils, until after I'd seen that it was NBUS 8 on one of my CCClub blogs. Oh well, I tried. Hope you both will both feel much better real soon. Rest all you need. With the bad weather, that's a great way to spend the day! Hugs & TFS
ReplyDeleteJill, it's adorable! I have that stamp too and just love it. Cute and fun card.
ReplyDeleteHope you start feeling better soon.

Jill, I hope you feel better soon! No fun! You did a beautiful job, though! Absolutely adorable couple! Paper piecing can be tricky but you did a fabulous job!
ReplyDeleteWow, what an effort Jill, but a great result - love your card and hope you are better soon - next time put DH into quarantine when he starts with the bugs first :-).

Love your card! Such a cute stamp and so much paper piecing! Wow! Do hope you're feeling better.
ReplyDeleteWhat a loyal and true friend you are, Jill, to get up from your sick bed and make a card AND participate in the optional cp/k technique! I'm honored and appreciative that you playing my challenge! And I LOVE the darling card with that long-married and long-suffering couple! It's a karack-up!
ReplyDeleteAnd paper-piecing is perfect for the image, along with the coloring! But, my goodness, what a lot of work when you aren't feeling well! That's another technique that I enjoy (reminds me of playing with paper dolls back in the day) and I don't do often enough. Remember when it was all the rage?
You take care now, Jill, and get better soon! I hope Jim is over his sickies! Dang, I was hoping 2017 would start out on a better note for you guys. Let's just say that was a last bit from last year and now your year will be sunshine and flowers from here on out!! Hugs, Darnell
Oh my-the wrath to your hubby if you missed this challenge. I am sure he knows by know how serious we crafters take out blogging challenges LOL! Hope you are both feeling better! Love your card and the cute sentiment with it!
