Raspberry Suite Color Challenge #14




Hello everyone!

I'm back! My friend Alyene left to go back home, but we enjoyed having her with us. We met when we were both in Germany and share a lot of adventures together. Those were our "wild" times :-) How can I forget the train trip to Prague, when one of our friends took a bite off a candy bar after I told him it has no peanuts in it (the bar didn't have the ingredients in English, but it had them in Romanian)? He was allergic to peanuts. The candy bar had peanuts in it. Don't ask me what we went through, in a train where no one spoke English, beside an old doctor in the last wagon. The minutes until the next train stop were the longest ones in my life. The paramedics were waiting for us already and Kevin got his shot of epinephrin. If he didn't, probably I would have blogged from behind bars now...

I haven't posted a card in a while and the owner of the coffee shop where I sell my cards told me they are short so I should bring in some more....I really felt I was way behind in my card endeavors. 

This morning I woke up with fresh energy and worked on my orders and also on Raspberry Suite Color Challenge #14. I enjoy more and more making my own backgrounds (I use "my own" loosely, because I still need a lot of inspiration from other card makers :-) ) 




Recipe for {True Friend} card   5 x 5 in

~ Cardstock: PTI {Plum Pudding, Raspberry Fizz};
~ Stamp: PTI {In Bloom};
~ Ink: PTI {New Canvas, Burnt Sienna};
~ Ribbon: PTI {Scarlet Jewel}. 


So, this is the card and I only have one problem with it. I took some time to edit it and tweak it and trying to make it look its best, only to have Blogger shrink it to a little  and unclear size....How can I upload bigger pictures in Blogger? Thank you, I appreciate any suggestion! 

Thanks for stopping by!

love that blossom dp! I have picture posting issues too! It feels very awkward. Did you you click the largest image option? (silly question...you probably did). If I have a sentiment or something I want to zoom in on, I crop that part of the picture and post that. I don't know any other way of seeing the details or making a pictue any bigger.

Welcome back... you were missed.

My secret on my pictures is using a lot of light. I bought two utility lights at a garage sale and they both have 300 watt bulbs. It really really helps. As far as size, I always just pick the largest size when I upload. Not sure if that helps!

Great card!
