Well has only been 2 months and 6 days since my last post {gasp} I guess I should wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! This has been one of my longest breaks blogging, I have received a number of emails from readers of my blog checking on me, which is really ever so sweet {thank you}. I have been stamping and everything has been carrying on as per normal just not blogging. I have spend hours writing and re-writing this post to explain my blogging hiatus but I have decided to not load you with the boring information. I DO have good news that seeing that I have not blogged in 2 months and 6, I have a back log of cards to share. I am going to try…. I will highlight the “try” to share my cards more often.
We are moving to the the topic at hand…. Yes! The card I have made, this card is for CASE Study 127 this month we have Teri Anderson as our muse for February, I am sure you realise this but she is a BIG DEAL in the cardmaking world and it is amazing that she has given her time to play along with us at CASE Study.
To the left you with see her sample to inspire us this week, you still have some time to play along check out all the design team cards and players cards HERE . I was inspired but the repeat of love and the four elements clustered together, I have used that on my card with the L.O.V.E in separate squares but closely clustered together. The layout even played a part with the printed paper at the top and bottom, I have added a ribbon to my card because I need to keep it to my style.
I have used Fan Fair printed paper from Stampin’ Up! {Hello} Like I would be using anything else! I am on to my 3 packet of this paper! I think it is my favourite after Newsprint for some time. The ribbon on the front is the Natural 7/8″ Cotton Ribbon which is sold as a carry over from the holiday catalogue and I have dyed it Midnight Muse, after I attached the bow to the card it looked like the wrong “Blue” to match the printed paper and yes, it was wrong it should be Island Indigo but I was not dying more ribbon my hands were blue already. {Note to self buy rubber gloves in the next grocery shop} See below! I just get in the “creative moment” and get carried away sometimes!
Here is the inside of the card which I really like with the layering. You mean the world 2 me is from Word Play and the globe image at the bottom is from the Fan Fair DSP also.
Drop me a line, love to hear from you!
I love your cards — especially the “LOVE” one — fantastic colors and design.
Your card is beautiful Teneale, I love the muted tones and the way you layer and add the extra little stamping details. You have such an eye and talent for making beautiful things. Great to see you in the blogging world again as I love to see what you create and to get inspiration from you.

Welcome back Cotter! This card is sensational (as always Teneale).
Missed you! Lovely card. 🙂
WOWSERS!! you sure did pull a number off, w/this card! I love everything about this card (what’s there not to love?) thanks for finding your mojo & came back to stamping!
Thank you so much for your comment on my blog! I’m really glad to have come across your’s – I’ve been looking through loads of your beautiful cards, and absolutely love your style! I really like how lovely the insides of your cards are too.
Glad to see you back on your blog, Teneale! So love that you “got your hands dirty” and dyed your own ribbon. That globe is pretty awesome too!
Fabulous Teneale, love your style. Love how you have used Morning post in the the square layout. My favourite Stampin up Suite this year! I would never have guessed that to be the cotton ribbon.
Yeah!!! She is back! Beautiful card. I check on your blog every day, hoping, hoping…… Thank you for the treat!
I just had to say that everything you make is so inspiring. I want to climb into your headspace and see how you come up with such amazing ideas!
L.O.V.E this – mwah!

Love your style and creativity, Teneale; this card is no exception! You have convinced me that I really need to order the Morning Post Alphabet set as my SU birthday gift to myself! So glad you are back in blogland!
Glad to see you back! You truly are an inspiration! Can’t wait to see what you’ve been creating.
Thank you for sharing some of your lovely work. You are very talented. Hope all is well.
