Hello, friends! It's Tuesday, which means another challenge at CASology where this week the cue word is BLUE. Our guest designer this week is May, so please be sure to check out her card along with the rest of the design team's work this week.
Funny story, speaking of BLUE. My 12-year-old daughter recently purchased a bottle of blue magnetic nail polish. (Have you ever heard of this? The lid has a magnetic pattern that can form a design in the nail polish when you first apply it.) It was sitting on the kitchen table while I was helping my 8-year-old son with homework, so I decided to try it out on my thumb. I didn't get the design quite right, so I tried it again on another finger. (You can guess where this is going, right?) OK, here's the end result...this was the first time in my life I have ever painted my nails blue! I proceeded to tell my kids they have the coolest mom ever. They subtly looked at each other and rolled their eyes. (I was loving every minute of this!) It lasted one day, then I felt compelled to take it off...but it was fun while it lasted!
(The lid on this bottle had a starburst design...you can see it best on my pointer finger!)
Be sure to check out the BLUE cards from our amazing design team, and be sure to link up your card by Sunday at 4:00 CST...we'd love to see your clean and simple cards!

ReplyDeleteand your nails look fab!!! never heard of seen this nail polish before (I don't have nails, always clip them .. LOL ) have a fab weekend!! xx
That polish is pretty cool! If I ever painte my nails I'd give that a try. :) Your card is gorgeous. That lacey stamp goes perfectly with the punch and I love the blue peeking out the bottom.
ReplyDeleteLove your card, Judy!! The blues are so lovely, together! :) That's some pretty interesting nail polish! Never seen it. Though, I don't paint my fingernails (only my toes). Not sure how that would look on toes?...Might drive me nuts, thinking I 'smudged' the polish! lol :) Gotts love the reaction from your kids! Mine do the same thing, at times! :)
ReplyDeleteYour card is so feminine and pretty. I like that blue from the inside that peeks out from behind your lacy border. Cool nail polish. As the mother of two daughters, I have certainly seen it in the store, but so far, have resisted the requests to buy it.
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty card ... lovely lacy-ness with the stamps and the border, with the blue paper behind, stands out beautifully! Anita :)
