Happy World Card Making Day!

WCMD was yesterday - but I was cropping at Tomorrow's Treasures. I got a lot of cards done! It was a great way to spend the day!!!

A modified flag book

Jess at SSZ had this as her make n take this month - It took a bit to put together - but what a great idea!! Now I just have to figure out what I want to use it for!

End of Scrappy Island

I got all of the challenges done and the games completed. They had a fabulous crop!!!

Scrappy Island - Day 4

This first challenge was to do some weaving on a card. This LO was to be done after altering some chipboard or grungeboard - I cut out the wine glass, painted it with shimmering H20s. Then the LO needed to be about a party themed event.
This card is for SSZ - using products that start with the letter "C" - Christmas card using the cuttlebug, and the stamp is called 'envie full of cheer'

Scrappy Island - Day 3

Today's challenges were to complete a LO about my favourite thing - other than scrapbooking. I had played around with taking my own photograph a few weeks ago - and I decided to use it for the challenge. In the 'treasure chest' we found - we have lots of bling to use. The second challenge of the day was to create a tag with a creepy crawler - so I made a bookmark!

Some more cards

For the 2nd challenge of today - we needed to create a card of appreciation with the flower we made.. Isn't this cool? It is a stamp - that folds over and makes a card. It is adorable IRL - Angie is carrying these stamps!!
For SSZ - a challenge is to make something using the letter "S" - so here is my "S"tamp from "S"tamping Bella!!!

Lots to Share!

I had a great day at my crop, yesterday!!! 15 LO!! Mostly about Boston, but a few local/recent pictures, too.

Here are a few Christmas cards I made with a new stamp from Heathers....so cute!!

A challenge over at SSZ was to design a set of 3 cards...

FIL's bday is coming up.... :)

Scrappy Island - Day 1 - challenge #2

We are allowed the basic tool kit, from above and 2 pcs of patterned paper. Reward from doing the first challenge. Now, we were to use something in nature with ink or paint.
I got a daisy out of the garden and used my alcohol ink spray on it - to get the shape of the flower!

Day 2 - Our first challenge for today - is to MAKE a flower. We will be using it in a future challenge.

Scrappy Island

I have joined another message board and there are challenges for the next 9 days. Today's challenge is to make a card - only using 2 different colours of cardstock, punches, pens, adhesive, letter stickers...here is my entry: I am off to a 12hour crop today - can't wait - my favourite store - Tomorrow's Treasures. Lots of fun stuff going on - can't wait to see!

One week in..

I survived! School has started and I think I am going to enjoy my new position. It will be VERY busy and a steep learning curve - but I will manage. I have changed positions so many times over the last few years and I have always wanted to do a LO of me before I start. Each year passes, and it doesn't get done - but, this year I did it!! I worked on it on Labour Day - so it was done before the 'new year'.

I have also been working on the DT challenges from SSZ and a few *sigh* Christmas cards. I have recently bought a few new stamps, that encouraged me to get started! I will post these soon.

Thanks for looking!

The last day of August!

Where did the summer go??? I have one more day of holidays and then I am back to work!!! I had to take a bit of a scrapping break - I hurt my neck but I think I am ready to go again!

Here are some of my recent LOs and cards.

August 16th - We hosted the SSZ get together at our place. Sandy was coming east and it seemed like the best way to see everyone! I watched one episode of my Tim Holtz video and it was on Brushless Watercolouring -here's what I created.

I finally got to get some close-up pics of our Canadian Geese. But, we were in Syracuse!! They were in the parking lot - so I could get some shots from the car.
This card isn't quite done - I need a sentiment for the front. I used the alcohol spray on the grungeboard butterfly and then added the new Pure Glitz stickles and spread it around. I like the look!
Jen, at SSZ, showed us some cards using metal and her cuttlebug. I had some metal from MM - so I gave it a try!! It was fun to use one of my new Christmas embossing folders and the new Imaginisce Candy Cane Lane - snowflakes.

Here is my latest ATC for a swap at SSZ -

Colourful Creations in Hyannis is hosting a 'numbers' ATC - so these are on their way. Can't wait to see what I get in return!

This was a swap I hosted awhile back - the colours of the rainbow. The back is all alcohol inks on glossy paper. The new AC - this is so yummy!
A card for Pam's birthday!
I made this notebook for Pam....

SSZ had a challenge to colour on a card - here is mine!
