Step It UP! Saturday #68

I sat down last weekend and attempted to do 3 weeks worth of blog postings in one day.

My mojo got pretty weak.

So, I turned to Teneale Williams again. 

I made my version of her card - her cards are always step 3 cards - and thought

I could work backwards and create a step it up project.

Doing these cards, I really get lost in the process and love that I have something to follow and just make it. Love it.

As you can imagine, step #3 takes a bit of time, but the results are well worth the effort and let's face it the creating is so much fun!

Anyway here are my other step cards for Teneale's fabulous card:

How much did I love Sale-a-Bration's Bliss Stamp Set? I have no words.
Here is a little creation with one of the best stamp sets ever.....if you like this sort of look.....if you don't, then I suppose you totally disagree on Bliss being one of the best stamp sets ever. I do rank it right up there with some of my favorites like Wonderful Wings, Knobbly Gnomes, Lovely as a Tree...
