~ A Whole New Look ~
February 9th, 2009 by Holly McMillen
Good morning!
No doubt, if you have been here before, you can see that I have not only rearranged the furniture, I painted as well! What do you think of my new look?
Sadly, I have to tell you that I am still fighting this nasty cold. I was telling Judy (StampingQueenJAR) yesterday, I have coughed up a lung, blown the nose off my face and sneezed my fool head off. But!, this cold makes me sound british when I speak! LOL Sooooooo… ‘Allo!
My stamping mojo and ability is being affected, too. I woke up to today’s Technique Lover’s Challenge (cut it out!)…. knowing I needed a valentine. My brain just couldn’t wrap around the challenge and being masking impaired, I am really not that happy with my results:
I printed the computer generated sentiment on pixie pink cardstock. Made a top mat with the flowers.. used an oval nestie to trace an oval in the appropriate place, then used my craft knife to cut the frame.
Here are the deets:
Stamps: Our Daily Bread Designs: I am the Way (flowers) and computer generated sentiment
Colors: Kiwi Kiss, Pink Pirouette, GP White
Ink: Brilliance Graphite Black, copic markers
Accessories: green candy dots, ribbons, oval nestie (to trace), dimensionals, scissors

Well, since I was unable to post to my blog yesterday, I thought I would share with you my Featured Stamper card from Sunday:
Our featured stamper yesterday was K Dunbrook. I was not familiar with her work, but was highly impressed with her gallery which you can see HERE. This is the card that I chose to case.
Here are my deets for this one:
Stamps: Our Craft Lounge’s Fishin’ Hole
Colors: Chocolate Chip, GP White, Bashful Blue, Mellow Moss, Real Red
Ink: Brilliance Graphite Black, copics
Accessories: brads, ribbon, dimensionals, scissors, silver cord.

Left a note on a previous post, but will say it here too. Just LOVE your new look 🙂 Wasn’t sure I was on the right blog when I first clicked on to it – it was early in the morning and I wasn’t firing with all pistons yet LOL! Great job on it!
Sorry to hear you are still suffering with a cold. A few kids I watch after school have one so I’m sure it will make it’s way into our family soon – ugh!!
Lovely card and a cute FS card too. Hope you feel better soon, and hope DH ribs are healing quickly too!
I love the new look Holly!
Both of your cards are great and I hope that you will feel better soon!
I totally love this new look – your picture looks just like a HAVEN! I want to be there!
I think you sneezed too hard. I am not feeling so good……LOL
Just kidding — I am tired though. Remind me to tell you about the girl at our door at 2:30 a.m.!
