A new adventure with Crafty Anns

Good morning! Blogger Friends!

Sorry I am a tad late with this, Me Blogger is giving me some attitude and has deleted all my scheduled posts! And I have the sexy DH home for the weekend, so I am anywhere but near my craftroom and computer :P

Today I am very excited to share with you all some 

Exciting news! 

I am very happy and greatly honored to now be DT-ing with the gorgeous girls at

Crafty Ann's Challenge Blog!

Thank you girls so much, I have really had a great time with my 1st challenge!

And boy do we have a wonderful challenge for you for my debute! 

Scallops / And or Fancy Border(s)

This week I was a very lucky girl and I used the adorable Bird on Blossom Branch from Crafty Ann's Digi Shop or you can click HERE to go directly to all her gorgeous images!

This is my card that I had lots of fun playing with!

As per my usual lol I went with a vinatge / distressed theme, it just seemed to work so well with the image.  I forgot at the time that I could have got my fancy scissors out and used them so I was more thinking of the scallops theme as I made this.  I incorporated the scallops with the blue ric rac, the scallop heart die and the scallop matt border for the image - things you think of in hindsight, but I am more than happy and impressed with how my card turned out!

I used lots of embossing powder and heat setting to help give many of the elements a aged effect, for the 'Dream ticket' I used my embossing powders and achieved the shattered glass look, love love love all the aspects of this card!

For anyone not familar with playing along with Crafty Ann and the girls I shall give you a little run down on the rules,
