OH MY....

Wow, it's been a long time since I last posted. (Carol was very kind to inform me)
I guess life has just been crazy busy. At least that will be my excuse. lol I'll try to be better, maybe.
I made this card for a technique swap I joined. The clock in the middle is the cracked glass technique. I just love the look of it. When I get my cards back I'll post what the other girls made. This card used the It's About Time stamp set, which I absolutely love, pp from the Au Chocolat line, Chocolate Chip ink and cs, kraft cs, Bravo Burgandy ink and Whisper White ink.
Now this has almost nothing to do with SU!. I took a canvas class at My Scrap Shoppe and this is what I made. It was so nice being the student instead of the teacher. On the chipboard swirls I used craft ink (Chocolate Chip) and then used Iridescent Ice embossing powder. I hand cut the cherish and also covered it with II embossing powder. I think I'll put a border all around the pictures yet to finish it off. I'd love to make another one for Colby. We'll see.

birthday card

This is a card for my Mother-in-Law. It's her birthday today. I totally CASEd this from Kurtis. I'll look for his blog link and add it to my sidebar. He does AMAZING stuff.
I used Natural Beauty stamp set, stamped the flower in black and colored in with the pencils and blender pens. I then cut an oval out of a piece of scrap paper and put it overtop and used my chalks to color the yellow around the flowers. The fiber is from somewhere, not SU!. I got it as a gift one year, maybe it's from Micheals. The Birthday wishes is stamped in Old Olive to match the fiber.

last of the cancer basket projects

This is a mini chipboard album. The pp is not SU! it was just a sheet I had laying around and didn't know how to use. I like how it looks in this mini album. I think I put 5 pages in it.
I can't remember what this mini album was called. It's not accordian, but it's made with only 1 sheet of 12 x 12 cardstock, plus the covers. And you don't need to glue the pages together, it's a really cool folding technique to make the pages.
Here's the inside. The round brown tabs are the tops to some tags I stuck in there for journaling. I stitched and stamped and added some pp to the pages. The pages BTW, are 3 x 3 so a great size for a mini book.
These are 2 post-it note holders.

So I think this completes my package of goodies for my penpals cancer basket. Hope she likes all the things I've made.

Scrap Day

So my scrap day was a great success!! I don't have oodles of room so limited it to 5 people and we had a blast. Everyone loved it and got a lot accomplished.
I will be having more of these for sure!!
Thanks to everyone who came out and scrapped with me.

Breast cancer cards

I made these cards for my pen pal. She puts together cancer baskets as a fundraiser so I'm donating these cards as well as some other projects. (which I have to make yet)
This first one I CASEd off of SCS again. Thought it was funny but still an important message.
I also used a retired set called Hope Is... to make all these cards.
