Inspired by Sandie {and Blogger commenting}


Happy Tuesday friends. When I saw the current Inkspirational Challenge, I knew that I had to play along.  My cousin, Sandie, is the MUSE for the current challenge and I absolutely adore her CAS style.   I immediately knew what card I wanted to case. Please see her card below.  I love the small scale of this card, but went a bit bigger with my images.   Sandie also loves the PTI linen impression plate.  I'm not sure that you can see it on this card (poor photography on my part), but I added that as well.   Be sure to pop on over to Sandie's blog. I'm sure you'll be inspired to play along.

I also wanted to chat about Blogger commenting.  Joyce was nice enough to let me know that my comments weren't displaying with my email address.  I had no idea.  A couple of months ago I unintentionally switched to Google+.  I think that is what turned my email address to the "no reply" commenting.  Thanks to Joyce's note, I researched this a bit further and switched my blog back to a regular Blogger profile.  For information on how to turn your email on for a regular Blogger email, click here;  For info on how to revert back to a regular Blogger profile, click here.  I'm so thankful Joyce pointed this out to me as I always feel bad when there is no email to respond to on a blog comment where someone has asked a question.

love the colourful circles that draw in and keep your eye on the sentiment! So glad you were able to resolve that problem...I wish new programs would not reset things like that! Happy Tuesday...is it fun in the new digs?

Awesome cards. Thanks for the tip of switching back to blogger profile. I accidently switched to google+ as well. It has been weird.

Love that stamp set. After seeing your card, I'll have to pull mine out more often! Great colors, awesome ghost stamping, and a wonderful design. Bev

Fabulous cards by both you and Sandie! I love your very funky Christmas card. Goodgle+ is a bit frustrating if you want to visit a blog of one of your commentors. Glad you sorted it out and glad that Joyce helped you out. She is good that way! :)

Deepti said...

Bobby said...

Love the circle stamp and the colors you used for the CASE card.

Oh, Lynn, you did a fantastic job with your tribute to Sandie, both with your words and your card! I didn't know she was your cousin!

Thanks, too, for the info and links regarding the "no-reply" situation. I have it on my side bar, but you know how we ignore those, ha! If you don't mind I'm going to repost this information on my blog as well. I know some people don't want their emails out there, but lots of people just don't know they are "no-reply."

Hugs, Darnell

PS Congratulations on 300 followers!

Thank you for the tips on the blogger profile. I don't think I was a no-comment one, but there were things I didn't like about one of my accounts being a google+ profile instead of blogger. And you helped me fix it!!

Awesome neonness and I love to see you breaking out the Grunge again!

I LOVE your fun take on your cousin's card...how fun is that?!

Am I a no-reply commenter? That darn google+.

Marina said...

This looks fun and lively and is a great CASE. Thank you for joining us at Inkspirational Challenges. Come back next time! Marina

Joyce said...

Fantastic card--I almost pulled a Darnell and wrote Funtastic--perfect for a teenager who has achieved something (around here, getting out of bed on time would warrant a congratulations card). How fun is it that you have a cousin who also stamps. Love that. And, glad you have worked your Google and blogger issues out. It is fun to think that I actually knew something about a computer.

Kelly Griglione said...

Such great energy on your congrats card! Again, it really fits your message. You're good at keeping that in mind : ) I always feel bad when I can't reply to someone too, especially if they don't have a web site that I can respond in a comment.

What a fun card! I love the feeling of movement and flow, great CASE on Sandie's card. Thanks for joining us at Inkspirational! xx
