Sometimes life just happens.
And other times, well, life sort of runs you over.
(In a good way)
I feel like I'm living in a snow globe at this point.
A snow globe that's been shaken up a bit.
So pretty, yet so chaotic all at the same time.
I wouldn't change it for the world.
But until the glitter settles,
updates to this blog will be "chaotic" as well.
So onto the card, the reason why most of you are here anyways.
Not to read my philosophical mumble jumble about snow globes.
I think some of you remember my "cop-out" card using a color combo from the Summer Card Camp Class.
I decided that a re-do was in order.
Because I'm not one to let a challenge defeat me.
(In card land or any other land)
So I decided that I'd minimize the white color in my card.
Add some patterned paper that I had been hoarding.
One piece of paper, while I liked the pattern, the colors didn't exactly match.
So I pulled out my handy dandy Copics and went to work on fixing that.
I'd recommend testing with a scrap piece of paper first.
I used the Bookends stamp set from Papertrey Ink, which I bought awhile ago...
with the intent to make bookmarks for Christmas gifts.
Yeah... pretty sure that isn't going to happen.
Especially now that I'm sitting here comparing my life to a snow globe.
Thanks for stopping by! :)

I LOVE this card! All of those colors work so well together here Belinda! And I love your philosophical mumble jumble, as you call it! lol! Thanks for sharing this, hope all the snow settles in your snow globe soon.
Hey, Belinda! I love your card and the colors and patterns are so fresh together! I hope you are well! *HUGS*
Pretty color combo!!! :) I miss your updates but definitely understand the snow globe effect :) haha. Can't wait to see what you do with the Silhouette too! ttys
Beautiful card. Love the colors. Great idea to make bookmarks--I love to do that--and you can just do them next year. Good to see you posting again.
Glad your snow globe is pretty... just like your card...
Great to hear from you.
Gorgeous card Belinda!!

Hello guys im new on yous forum nice to see you all my website: [url=http://google.com]google[/url]
I'm glad you could find some time for creating Belinda! Your card is gorgeous, I love the bright colours! Thanks for sharing and hope you're having fun!
Great card. I like the oolor combo. I have that set and haven't used it yet. Bad me.
I'm with you on the "life as a snowglobe" phenomenon.
Hope your life settles soon.
wow - you really rocked this color combo out of the park. good luck on getting the glitter and snow settled! totally understandable why you're updating sporadic...i'll be glad to see you back when you're ready!
Beautiful card, the colors are fabulous. I've been thinking about you and hoping everything has been okay. Good luck with everything and when the globe stops whirling for a bit, I look forward to more of your gorgeous cards!!
Good to see crafty creations + musings about life. Miss seeing you at our stamping gatherings. I made a stamp, gem, twine card and thought of you!
This is gorgeous and was just peeking to see if your snow has settled! Hope all is well!
Sorry that your life has been chaotic, though I'm glad it's been a good way.
I don't think the card is a cop out at all. I think it's pretty darned nifty.
I also think it might be just the inspiration I need to use that PT stamp set that has never seen ink!
Fabulous.....
