I got a card from Beate!

I am so lucky! I received this RRAK from Beate today! I think I might have squealed out load. I am in awe of her work on her blog and visit there everyday. Please give her a visit as I know a lot of you already have.

Beate made this card and posted the details on her blog. I love it! It made my mail day...

round card

I subscribe to so many magazines and have a ton of ideas in my little head after reading them. I think I got the round card idea from one of the cardmaking mags. I really wanted to try. Dontcha think the design was made for the Coluzzle? It was my thought anyway.

I didn't really like how this one turned out. Why, you ask? First of all, I need sturdier cardstock for this... the ribbon is too bulky...and I should of used nontextured cardstock or watercolor paper for the main image. Poop. Live and learn.

stamps: Bundles of Bouquets from My Favorite Things

paper: Spring stack from DCWV

ribbon, aqua painter, reinkers, Coluzzle, Giga scalloped round punch

love this fold...

One of my absolute favorite artists is Julie Ebersole or JulieHRR at SCS. If you have ever visited there, I know you would have seen her work. On this particular CASE, I love the fold of this card and the cool ribbon placement.

stamp set: Bud Basics

paper: My Mind's Eye patterned paper, Tempting Turquoise, Whisper White, Certainly Celery

inks: Basic Brown, Taken with Teal, Certainly Celery

ribbon I picked up at Michael's, glitter glue

another tall card

I think I might be hooked on tall cards for the moment. I just bought some envelopes and now they can be sent! I saw this card on Jana's blog: http://stampwithjana.blogspot.com/ and especially loved the layout.

paper: Certainly Celery, Regal Rose, Whisper White, patterned paper

inks: Certainly Celery and Regal Rose

primas, white brads, Creative Memories Circle Maker, ribbon from Jody's share (see last post), and crystals from a cell phone bling kit I got from the dollar store

Love that ribbon!

Look what I got today from Jody! Jody does lots of shares for people to participate in and I received my first share! Ribbons are her main thing, but she also gets great deals on other things such as primas. For instance, I got all these bee-you-tiful colors for $17, with shipping included. I just put in $$ for my next share. I can't wait! It seems like my cards are naked without ribbon. My 5 y.o. daughter drooled over them, too.

Check out Jody's blog and see what you might love!

feelin' Eastery

I had a pack of cards that I picked up some time ago with big intentions. The card set is from K & Co. from Tim Coffey. I thought they looked Springy and Eastery. I watercolored the Easter basket image from Festive Four on SU's watercolor paper. I used my good ol' aquapainter and reinkers. I stamped the basket with second generation black Staz On so it wouldn't be so dark. I threw on a couple patterned papers from my scrap drawer and inked the edges. I got the felt ribbon from QVC the last Scrapbook day. It is from Provo Craft's Rob and Bob Studio and matched perfectly! I LOVE that when that happens...

I have a guest scrapbooker!

My 12 year-old son keeps telling me he wants to scrap pictures I have of him and his cousin. They are close buds and the same age. Well, yesterday must of been the creative day for him. I know he had fun since he kept looking at it even after putting it in the album. Oh, and loves the Cricut!
