New Blogger

Just popped in to answer Olga's question about new Blogger.

I've  been using Blogger in Draft for a while. It's a behind the page side of blogger.....the bits I see and not my
Blog page that you see!
Back in April (I think) the people at Blogger starting rolling out their new format which they say is totally new not just bits and pieces added to the original system.  For us it's a little different in that you open to a new overview page which has a graph with your stats and a section telling you if you have comments waiting for moderation as well as how many comments (in total) you've received, how many posts you've made etc. From here you tab to different areas of your blog. For comment moderation, posting etc. The Dashboard screen is new with more info at a glance which is really good too .   I really like it....more streamlined!
Back later today with Heartfelt Creations new June release!!!

Yeah I have the new "Blogger"...........

And it looks .........good!

We're featuring another of the recent sets called Acacia today.

For my  card  I used 2 AnnaBelle sets. To the lighter green layer I  stamped  BBD 5 in SU so saffron. I stamped the main image to Watercolour card using Memento tuxedo black and coloured with Inktense Pencils.  These are a little different from ordinary watercolour pencils, the colours are so vibrant when you add a little water.
The dsp is from Basic Grey called Cappella and I've used some die cut lace and 3 Sprinkles in lemon. AnnaBelle's paper cord in Olive to complete the card.

Here's  a quick CAS card using the same image but stamping it with VersaMark and clear embossing to a pre-folded yellow card. With the sentiment stamped to a Label  die and a gold butterfly punched using a MS butterfly punch  it was a very quick card to produce!  Some AnnaBelle white satin ribbon with 3 lemon Sprinkles complete this one.
