Hi there! Thanks for all of your comments on my card yesterday. Today, I am sharing a card inspired by the Loonie Stampers Challenge. I used the design and color palette in the pillow for my inspiration. I did not use to be a fan of a 'tearing tool' thinking you can tear without it. However, I have discovered now that I appreciate the 'perfect' tear and use my tearing tool much more now when I want that effect. It all depends on you. The tool is relatively inexpensive, but not something to run out to purchase.
Last night, I accomplished lots! I was able to get my watermark back! I am so afraid of CS4 that I just stopped using one, as you all may have noticed. Mac helped me create them and gave me great step-by-step tutorial on editing my photos (quickly) and applying a (watermark) brush to the photo. I breezed through lots of photos tonight and now enjoy working in CS4, especially on this huge 24" monitor. I can see every detail in the photo. So, I hope my photos will be enhanced now that I am able to edit them better.
Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.

great colors!! so what did you have before cs4? i have cs3 and im slowly mastering it and i dont want to even get into cs4 because by the time i get into that then it will be like cs6 or 7. it goes by so fast. Isnt the watermark brush so easy. makes watermarking so fast.
Cute card. I have some of the pins but was not quite sure how or where I would use them. Thanks for the ideas. Fran
This is so pretty!! I wasn't a huge fan of Scarlett Jewell when it first came out, but the more I see it, the more I like it! LOL, guess I'll have to break down and get some! ;)
Beautiful card!!! I havn't used my With Sympathy set in a long time, I really need to get it out and play! Love the torn edge, it adds great texture and detail. Your photos are fabuous! Do you use a light box?
I love your use of With Sympathy in this card...very elegant. I have just begun to follow your blog and am really enjoying your beautiful cards and the videos you have made...as a fellow lover of Papertrey Ink (as much as my bank account allows I should say! otherwise I would buy nearly everything they sell), I really enjoyed seeing you open your Papertrey Ink box because I get that same sense of excitement and happiness when I receive a box from them.
Don't you just love MACS? I do all my photo editing on iPhoto on my new Macbook and I love it! Ok, your card is too cute, what really struck me about the card are those leaf pins, I find them so interesting. I've never used them on my cards, so I was wondering if they are easy to work with, I mean, do you run the risk of getting pricked/poked by them? That is my only concern, lol. The tearing effect, looks good on your cards :D
Hugs

Gorgeous card! I love the colors and those little leaf pins!
