One Plus Two Equals One

Hello Nomad friends.  I'm back!!!  Did you miss me???  I was in the UK for family things and I gotta admit, I missed crafting.  And my computer!!!!   Gosh, new appreciation for those of you doing everything on your phones!!   What a challenge!   I did do some desert island crafting (that's what I call it when I am stranded far from my stash) but the photo is on the phone and I am still trying to get it to give it up!!   Maybe that card will pop up soon, cos it was kinda cool, but first.........

It's the 10th of the month so time for a new challenge at Let's Squash It!   Jo has gone a bit mathematical with the challenge Cuz 2 Out of 3 Ain't Bad... and wants to see two thirds of your card embossed and one third clean space.

Don't Panic!!!!!! 

I am sure we won't be out with the ruler, so a rough eyeballing of the proportions is perfectly acceptable.  I went with a wide border around an embossed panel, and I might be a bit nearer a clean two fifths! but like I said, no rulers will be used bwahahhaahaahahaa.


Gonna have to NBUS this one cos the sizzix Dandelion Wish 3D folder and the gorgeous Penny Black Furry Smile stamp are both new.  Isn't that folder divine?!!!  I used Docrafts textured gold card for my panel and love the look.  Of course the photography was another challenge I don't feel able to discuss!!  I know you feel my pain, but isn't it gorgeous!!!!   I'd like to thank Penny Black for the new stamp.  I was lucky to win a voucher to the website and they were so awesome to send international.  I love all the goodies that came and I am sure more will be popping up soon.  I'd also like to thank Greta for giving me the heads up cos I was in a bit of a tiz and might have missed it.  

It's starting to read like an oscar acceptance speech!!!  A night at the airport after cancelled flights will do that to a brain!!!   Is there a limit to the number of exclamation marks it's polite to use on any one blog post??!!!  Anyway, oh yeah, dandelion wishes embossing folder on textured gold card I had stamped the Penny Black happy birthday on.  Penny Black Furry Smile stamped on white card with black archival, fuzzy cut (that's when I drag the scissors while I cut to keep that nice fuzzy edge) and a little sharpie colour.  Isn't he adorbs!!!!! 

OK, screw on your maths head and get Squashy with your folders.  More awesome inspiration over on the Let's Squash It! blog for other ways to keep your third clean so do hop over and check it out.  See you there!!!

Thanks for dropping by.  Hugz

    Challenge is an understatement Gail, I know my eyes are not the best but even so I just don't know how people read blogs and do other things on them.

    Lucky win at PB and super fun card using it, many thanks for joining us at We Love Stamping September challenge.

    What a fab EF Gail! Love the super-cute bear, looks like he could blow up a dandelion storm if he put his mind to it. How lovely to win some PB goodies, I’m sure you’ll put everything to good use.

I have that beautiful 3D e/f and love how you used it for your golden background panel behind that, yes, adorbs bear smiling at us from his photo bomb perch! Great fuzzy cutting!

    Great win from Penny Black and you chose a cute stamp. That is a lovely embossing folder and you showed it off so well. Air travel has become a shot in the dark now.
