It keeps raining so I can’t get in the mood to make cards. Plus afterwards I can’t even photograph them properly because there’s no light! Sigh… The weather this summer hasn’t been the greatest but at least it hasn’t been blistering hot like last year when I was pregnant.

This week I decided to try the MFT My Favorite Challenge which is to finish a card inside and out! I’ve never done anything with the inside of my cards so I was excited to try this. I knew I wanted to use this bella image because I kept seeing PTI’s On My Couch being used. Since I don’t have that set, I couldn’t stop thinking about paper piecing bella’s big comfy chair. Then I ended up piecing bella’s clothes, too. I can’t even tell you how many times I stamped this image because I decided to piece and layer as I went. I popped her head, the bowl of popcorn and the chip bag! I’m not sure why I used a green base – only the chip bag matches?! Anyway, seeing this finished image makes me think of a giant TV screen. I guess I could be watching this girl eat on television or maybe I’m imagining myself pigging out. LOL

I didn’t have any ideas for the inside except to use the same papers as the front as I’ve seen so many talented ladies do. It only makes sense! I double-stamped the sentiment in black and pink. I think it turned out okay for my first decorated inside of a card. 😉 This was fun. Now I might be getting requests to complete the inside on future orders. Uh-oh…

  1. Oh Emily, your card is soooo sooo sweet. I love the bella and the colors… Great work… Love this! Hugs and happy sunday. Silke

  2. Thanks for stopping by my blog! I think we like a lot of the same stamps! I have this Pmsabella but haven't used it yet. Now I want to!

    Oh and, think of these two girls at the cafe table (the bella's- don't know the name) with the Chic Botique Eiffel Tower behind them! I might have to do that tonight!!
