Crafting with my granddaughter

  

 

My granddaughter that lives in town likes to spend time with me in my craft

room.  Above is the card she made her daddy (my oldest son) for his birthday.

I went thru a paper pack and she picked out a paper.  Then I brought out my

ready to go die cuts and she picked 3 stars and a burlap heart,  grandma 

guided her to a brown happy birthday.  She did the gluing with a bit

of help.

A few fun challenges:

JDS-Wedding Magnolias

     It is mid-month at Jan's Digital Stamp Challenge. and as promised I have

a card made with her Wedding Magnolias.  

 

 

 

I made a 5x7 card on a linen paper.  I kept it very simple letting the image

and coloring be my focal point.  I used one of my most used die sets Nesting Lace Ovals

 by Quick Cuts and oval dies by Stampin Up. Simple and elegant.

 

I hope you will check out the challenge site and see teammates lovely designs 

and join the challenge  at Jan's Digital Stamp Challenge blog -Anything Goes.

JDS-Best Wishes

It's the first Monday of the month so it is new release time at Jan's Digi

Stamp shop and time for a new monthly challenge at Jan's Digital Stamp 

Challenge.

 

 I adore both of her new releases and played with both as soon as I got them.  

this one is Best Wishes.   I moved the sentiment on to the envelope before

I printed the image.  The stencil is Doily by Deco Art and has been in my

ever growing NBUS (Never Before Used Stuff) pile and I thought it went 

well with this image. I used a yellow gel pen around the flower centers but it 

is difficult to see here.    In two weeks I will show my card made with the other 

new set Wedding Magnolias.  

You can see my teammates beautiful designs and join the challenge

Butterfly Wishes

Inside:

  I have been saving this piece of beautiful 12 x 12 pattern paper and am now 

using and enjoying more of my patterned paper and specialty cardstock.  I thought

this would be perfect for a latch fold card.  I followed the directions at the

Butterfly Challenge. I added a sentiment from a new set I got from

Unity Stamp company, added gold splatters, added ink to a butterfly and

floral vellum snippet sitting on my desk, a bit of lace anda few sparkly gems 

and Wink of Stella on the outside butterfly and it was complete.
