Learning Lessons

I guess that shouldn't be plural.  I can really only think of one lesson I've learned, tonight.  And that lesson is that: RED DOESN'T PHOTOGRAPH WELL.

There is another lesson- but it's one that I need to learn.  That is: learn to take proper pictures.  Maybe I need a better camera.  Yeah, that's what the camera companies WANT me to think!

I'm stone cold sober, and thought- well, I'm home alone on a Friday night, why don't I pull out that new package of BasicGrey KONNICHIWA paper and see what I can make with it with it's delightfully colorful paper and possibly racist sticker?

Well, here's what I managed to make!


I offset the 'cuteness' of the sticker by using the (also included) alpha-stickers to say 'smile dammit.'

A great card to send to a friend who's down in the dumps.  You know, that friend of your's with an unhealthy me-no-speak-english-geisha-fixation.

Here's to a great weekend!  DEMO DAY at My Heart's Fancy, tomorrow!

And in the GREAT NEWS department, Ghostlight Records has recorded the off-Broadway revival of my FAVORITE Broadway musical of ALL time:  CARRIE.   YES!  1988's Broadway musical, CARRIE, has finally been professionally recorded!  No more suffering thru scratchy bootleg recordings!  However, no wonder how great sounding this new production will sound- it will never compare to the insane thrills of the original Broadway cast.  Here's to CARRIE!  There's NEVER Been A Musical Like HER!

  3. What a cute and lovely card, I totally can relate, colors are sometimes hard to capture in camera, it's always better in person! Beautiful work Kory, have a good weekend!!

    -Hugs! Frank

  4. Fabulosa card Kory. Red may be a pain in the proverbials to photograph but it's a gorgeously strong colour to use, especially when it's as dominant as your card design. Who couldn't help but to feel a warm lift from receiving this little wonder. Was Carrie on your mind when you created it? I'm guessing that blood-red is in your subconscious. Love the book/film/TV film etc. Never seen the musical or heard the soundtrack though. Enjoy the demo day!!!! And divulge all when you to return to us eager Scrapiverse readers. :) Pxx
