A failed CASE and TAGs...

First order of business:
The amazingly talented and generous Mel made a beautiful orange flower and I thought of my Operation smile set. I am sure I have 6 different flowers that could be layered the same way from 6 different sets, but this one was on the top of them all*smiles*

So I went and got the paper from Archiver's and made my own version of it. My fear of layers and bad embroidery skills left off lot of details she had on her sketch book.


Second order of business:
I got tagged recently by two very talented ladies (Beverly and Claire) and umpteen other talented ladies before that. I have been lazy getting around to talking about myself. I know no one really cares, but if you are one of those rare ones, here goes.

Things I Love:
  • Family. (Do they count as things? I think so. LOL!)
  • Food.
  • Friends.
  • Nature and The Creator.
Things I prefer not to love:
  • Mean people
  • Cluttered house (My dream home is one big room with furniture separating it into rooms, if any and has sunlight lighting up the whole home whenever possible)
  • Any kind of fanatics.
Songs On My I-Pod
  • I don't know (I gave mine to my 8 yr old)
Favorite Foods/Drinks
  • Anything that does not involve exotic animals like snakes, frogs etc etc.
  • Pina Colada (Virgin of course)

And it is left to you find "Seven Odd/Weird Things About Me" in the above details ;-)

Have a wonderful day everyone! TTFN.

I think this is so pretty! I love how the flower pops out from that gorgeous backround... Very nice!

Lottery Girl said...

That paisley background is stunning! And of course, I do care about your tag items. I think you picked some goodies, or at least the same things that would be on my list. (That's probably why we are friends!)

BTW, I've passed along your cards to my mother, and she has passed them on to my sister who are both raving about them! So your handy work is being enjoyed.

Ann said...

Theresa said...

Anna, wow, does that flower pop against that background. I love the layers and your coloring is awesome!

jami said...

I love your card:)
I don't think anything you said about yourself is odd/weird. Is that challenge part of the tag or did you add that?

Elena said...

Wow! Your card is fantastic! Really love your coloring and layering the flower!

You sweet angel! BLUSH! You sure are Anna DaGenerous on so many levels! I love this. I don't think there are any details missing at all. That filigree is Sooooooh perfect! I love the white highlights on the flower & the faux stitching Gorgeous! :O) Do Stamping "fanatics" count in things you prefer not to love? Uh Oh LOL. I love the way you put that by the way. I think this is the 7 wonderful things about Annapurna list! P.S. I love the new thumbnail for your CTMH site. Perfection! :O)

Oh, your card is so pretty, Anna! You did a beautiful job with the flower and love the filigree in the center. Love the paisley dp too!

Hey, I love pina colada too. . and of course virgin! LOL! It's yummy. I always order it when we eat out. . .

I hate a cluttered house too! I wish I could live like a minimalist. . .it's so Zen! Too bad, I've got too many stuff. Wish I could get rid of half of my stuff without missing them! LOL!

Melissia said...

What a beautiful card. What is the embellishment in the center of the flower? Is it a brad or a charm???
