Again, the DP was swiped from Kathy's scrap pile and worked out to be a perfect addtion to this card.


Supplies

Wording CHF "Kim Hughes"

Monkey October stamps "Nina Aslund"

Card stock Lasting Impressions

Corner rounder

Nestibilities

We R Memory Keepers (X-Large Eyelets)

Have a super evening, thanks for dropping in!~

Bright & Cheery Valentine


Good Morning, while putting away some of the scraps I brought back from my visit with Kathy, I came across this boldly bright paper from We R Memories and had to put it to use. It goes so well with the red polka dot paper from Scenic Route.
Embossing and cutting hearts and circles out from matching cardstock made this card go together very quickly. To finish it off I added a few bright yellow buttons and had a card done in less then ten minutes.

Supplies Used
Dollar Store Greeting
Lasting Impressions L9182
Colorbox Chalk Ink "Warm Red"
Papers: White Linen, We R Memories, Scenic Route
Accessories: buttons, Nestibilites (circle & Rectangle)
Glue pop dots.

Today I plan on doing some laundry and curling up and reading my new Grisham book .Enjoy your Sunday and thanks for stopping by.

A Love-ly Tree


Just dropping in to share another card created in the wee hours. This one also uses several Lasting Impression templates and card stock. I like switching up templates (like the tree) and using them in different ways to get a whole different look. The DP used for the heart tree is from a bargain bag Kathy picked up for me at her local scrapbook store all other paper is LI.

Templates used to create this card

I think it has finally stopped snowing here for a bit after snowing all day and leaving my area with a good 18" since last night.

Enjoy your evening and thanks for popping in.

Love You!


Good Morning, unable to sleep last night and not wanting to watch another infomercial I decided to mosey into my craft room and put some of my energies to use. This is the first of several cards I created as a result. I have had the arrow template from Lasting Impressions for some time and decided to incorporate it into this design. All cardstock and templates are Lasting Impressions. I distressed and inked the edges using Colorbox "dune and brown" inks.
Templates used to create this card:

Enjoy your Saturday. I should be back later with more since we are snowed in. Ole' man winter decided to dump about a foot of snow on us since 6:00 last night and more on the way.
Thanks for dropping in!

Cute Valentine


Today's post will have to be short, I have a super headache but still wanted to share another image that Kathy bought for me. I don't recommend using Lasting Impressions paper with copic markers. It took me a few different times coloring with my Copics markers before getting a 1/2 way decent colored image. I did not want to go with solid white paper though. Does anyone know of a off white paper that works well with Copic markers?



Supplies:Stamps: By Nina Aslund for October Stamps, My Favorite Thing, Stampendous

Papers:Lasting Impression, Scenic Route, polka dots (unknown) swiped it from Kathy's stash

Inks: Memento Tuxedo Black

Accessories: clear embossing powder, Buttons Scenic Route, pop dots, clear glue, Copic Markers, White paint pen.


Have a fantastic morning and thanks for stopping by.
