Updated: Speaking of Blog Candy, the artist of this Fathom Calmsea stamp, Amy, has reached a milestone of 1000 sheets of paper! Since she started making cards for her blog, she kept track of the different papers by setting aside a square of each. I think it’s cool that it’s been sorted by color – that’s something I would do. She has some really beautiful cards on her blog and is one of my sources of inspiration!

Did you know? A paternoster lift, or cyclic elevator, consists of a chain of open compartments that move slowly in a vertical loop inside a building without stopping. Compartments were usually designed for two passengers who would step in or out at any floor they like. They were first built in 1884 and can still be found in many countries, including Austria, Czech Republic, Germany, Hungary and the UK.

Did you know? Sentence spacing is the horizontal space between sentences in typeset text; examples include normal word space, single enlarged space or two full spaces. Although modern digital fonts automatically adjust a single word space there is some debate whether to strike a keyboard’s spacebar once or twice between sentences.

The first challenge is to create a card or project based on the inspirational photo provided. I saw all the vibrant colors in this photo including the blues, greens, teals, and coral colors. The second challenge is to use seven of something; and I chose to use 7 dew drops for bubbles.
