Hello sweet peeps! Sorry my posts have been sparse. I'm a bit under the weather ~ stuffy, headachey, blah blah, blah. But I did manage to put a card together yesterday. Actually it's a redo for the City Crafter Challenge Blog. They're asking us to rework a project that we weren't happy with the first go around.
I loved the paper pieced balloon (Pretty Pink Posh: Darling Friends) for this magnet I made last year. But I didn't like the shaker portion of it after is was complete. And my sequins on the clouds (PPP: Rainy Days) weren't quite the right color.
So, I reworked it into this card.
I hadn't intended to change out the bunny for a mouse, but I smudged ink on it after stamping my sentiment. I went with sparkling clear sequins here (4mm, 6mm, 10mm). I like this project much better. How about you?
Week 349 ~ Old Stuff, New Look!
Have a wonderful weekend. Hope you're all healthy!!

I have to say I love them both, Lisa! That magnet shaker is just adorable, but your card is, too, with the wee mouse and the gently blending and the clear sequints! A sweet and balanced design! I hope you are over your cold soon! Hugs, Darnell

The first is super sweet! But your take on our challenge by changing a few details are turning your card into a jawdropper; wow! You nailed our theme; your card is terrific! Thanks so much fro joining us at CCCB!

You know I loved that little tag, but you are right, Lisa - this card is such a sweet new look - even the mouse makes me happy just looking at him ... hope it made you feel better, too!

I thought the magnet was darling, but oh my goodness--the new card is fabulous! Everything is perfect now! Hope you get over the bug quickly, Lisa--take care of yourself!
I like them both too Lisa, and I love the soft colouring behind the balloon on the card. Hope you are feeling better.

Adorably sweet, just like the first go around!
OH well, it is darling as a shaker and as a card! Your paper pieced balloon is just adorable as is that little mouse! Hope you're feeling better soon! :)
Super cute cards Lisa! Love the fun hot air balloons!
That's a sweet little magnet but I think I like the card better, that mouse is such a cutie! Fabulous paper piecing on both!
I think both projects are fabulous but I do agree the new project has a slightly more co-ordinated look in the choice of sequins etc. Thanks for joining in at City Crafter.
Oh I adore your remake but I have to say I love the original too! Thanks so much for playing along at CCCB!!
I like 'em both Lisa! I don't think you could ever make something that wasn't inspiring and awe worthy. They're both adorable!!
I love that paper pieced balloon, Lisa, and I much prefer the placement of the sequins on the remake.
Beautiful. I, too, like them both. So glad to have found you through the City Crafter Challenge Blog.
Oh my, these are both so cute that I would never be able to pick a favorite! The pieced balloon is the sweetest ever!
I think your original magnet is sweet and fun but your card makes me swoon. Love the grey card base and the softly inked sky and perfectly scattered sequins!
Super sweet, Lisa! Love your paper-pieced balloon to bits and pieces! The sequins just take everything up a notch. CUTE!
Both are wonderful, but I love how you looked at your design and saw what would make it even better. Wonderful card, Lisa!
Sorry your not feeling well Lisa! You sure managed to create a darling card! I love the cuteness! Feel better soon!
LOVE, LOVE both! The Hot Air balloon is adorable!!!!
Lisa although I thought the magnet was super cute I absolutely, LOVE this new card! Still the same fabulous paper that you paper pieced with but the delicate ink blending behind the clouds and perfectly placed sequins made me catch my breath!
