That is so cool how you did the balloons and adding the extra shading really does give it an extra pop! Gorgeous layers of framing and love the sunshine you have there too! I have certainly learned many things from you, and so glad we were brought together :) <br />Oh yes I usually have an idea I start with and it hardly ever ends up the way I had planned, it just morphs as I go.<br />Right now I am on my Windows 10 computer and I can see the You might like widget :)Conniecrafterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09266327228870948083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5047286263309535644.post-50992328935044636852017-11-28T12:58:56.670-06:002017-11-28T12:58:56.670-06:00I love your coloring, Donna, and all the fabulous ...I love your coloring, Donna, and all the fabulous cupcakes but I'm totally enamored with the sparkly balloons!

My DD loves green & gray, even when it's not 'in fad'. We looked forever when doing her old bathroom which she wanted gray & yellow. Of course we're always either behind or ahead of fads. Love the way you've done the balloons, tfs the tips. Like the embossing and all the little special touches you've added to make it so beautiful. (1)on many cards, what I post is never what started - OR what I had envisioned. (usually due to boo-boos!) (2)Windows user and I _can_ see the little you may like icons. TFS & Hugs. Hope Tksgiving was just wonderful at your house.

The cupcake border looks like it was made for this image with the fluffy frosting matching the fluffy clouds. I shake my head at the perfection. It's so true how we come around to loving certain color combos all over again. A second childhood? Letting our hair down? As for Question #1, even as simple as my projects generally are, I do frequently end up with something completely different from the original plan. Question #2: I use Windows 10 and I can see your thumbnails. However, I cannot get this feature to show on my blog and it's very frustrating. I had it on TypePad, but not on Blogger. I love the feature and many times I'll click on the thumbnails when visiting a blog. I've been all over Google trying to figure out how to fix my problem, but to no avail, boo hoo.

To your second question, of course I change 3 and 4, and maybe more, times my project until I feel happy with the result. As for your card, I tell you that it is beautiful and cute. I love the pretty colours, the glitter and the lovely girl!

The colo...Oh Donna, this is such an uplifting card! The colours are so bright and cheery, and that image makes me smile! The silver is wonderful, love the back panel with the embossing!! So elegant and whimsical!<br /><br />#1 - I usually have a pretty good idea of how I want a card to look before I start piecing it together. I may make small changes, and the end result is never exactly as I envisioned it, but it's usually fairly close. Probably my OCD at work there. lol<br /><br />#2 - I'm on a desktop using Windows and I see 5 thumbnails. The people who can't see the thumbnails should check the settings on their ad-blockers. Suggest they turn the ad-blocker off and refresh the page, see what happens.<br /><br />So I had to build a barricade to keep Big Kate off of the balcony. Raccoons and baby squirrels just do not mix well together and I was losing sleep trying to watch over Zippy and Dolly P. It was a little heartbreaking to see the look on Kate's face when she realized she couldn't get in, but I passed her up lots of treats, so I hope she will forgive me. Sending hugs and wishes for a great holiday weekend :)Pamelliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02061174774558907509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5047286263309535644.post-3665726023175459262017-11-24T05:01:33.761-06:002017-11-24T05:01:33.761-06:00Oooh weeeeee These colors are fabulous!

As always, I found some gems of creative genius to try to CASE. To answer your questions, I find my creativity is best when I am not trying to make it "fit" into a challenge. When I can just play, my project will morph quite a bit before I start the process of putting it together with adhesive. For your second question, I have Windows and can see the "you might also like" suggestions - and believe me, I really do love seeing those gorgeous suggestions!

This is an absolutely darling card, and your granddaughter will certainly love it! Yes, their color palettes change over the years...for sure! I love how you "dredged" the balloons for the glitter! Haha! Question #1 - YES, I nearly always change my direction with my cards. And it can be many times. Haha! Question #2 - I have a MacBook Pro with High Sierra running on it, and I see the "You might like" widget below. So there! Hehe! I will say that I had some problems yesterday with another program after upgrading to High Sierra...not a fun day!!! But today is a new day and a beautiful day to give thanks to the Lord for all things...for He is our God!!
